Sub reorder_Sheets( iOrderedSheets)
Changes the positions of the sheets in this drawing according to the given ordered list. iOrderedSheets is the result of a permutation applied to the list of all the sheets of this drawing, with the following constraint: For every non-detail sheet, there is not any detail sheet appearing before in iOrderedSheets.
Example:
This example inverts the sheet order of a drawing made of exactly two regular sheets. 
 Set drwsheets = CATIA.ActiveDocument.Sheets
 Set drwsheetsorder =  CATIA.ActiveDocument.DrawingRoot
 Set sheet1 = drwsheets.item(1)
 Set sheet2 = drwsheets.item(2)
 newsheetorder = Array(sheet2, sheet1)
 drwsheetsorder.reorder_Sheets(newsheetorder)
