Leaving the order as is presents you with information you may not have had
... the system was forced to add a new disk drive after the other two,
listing it out of order. This gives some "history" to the configuration
and, as such, might provide some troubleshooting information to the strong
problem-spy!
If you have programs or scripts that do this listing, simply add "| sort -n"
to the output command.
And if this is the major item you have to worry about, I want YOUR job!!!!
;-)
Seriously, as stated below, the ODM mods are not involved nor difficult ...
but if one thing gets out of place, you're hosed. Definitely backup rootvg
and all other vgs and get your cds handy if you're going to make the mods.

You can always modify the ODM, but this is only if your really concerned
about the order to make it look pretty. Changing the disks id's in the odm
is non harmful if it's done right. You can name them "harddisk#" if you
want. Just go to the device table in the AIX odm and swap the entries for:
"hdisk11" and "hdisk11". Or just "rmdev" as the gentlemen below suggested
before the next time you reboot. If you decide to modify the ODM please
back it up so you can return to this state if you type or something. Backup
everything in: "/etc/objrepos" that is where the database is.
