### Overview

Atomically re-sequence the tag indexing rules for an org to match the supplied list of rule UUIDs. The server assigns `rule_order` 1, 2, … matching each rule UUID by position in the list. Requires the `Manage Tags for Metrics` permission. This endpoint requires the `metric_tags_write` permission.

OAuth apps require the `metric_tags_write` authorization [scope](https://docs.datadoghq.com/api/latest/scopes.md#metrics) to access this endpoint.
