I have a 50-wp flight. I’ve decided to change my home point to a more distant location, near point 11.

I want to change the numbering and make some adjustments at the ends.

So point 11 becomes 1, 12 becomes 2, 13 becomes 3… and 10 becomes 50.

The catch is that the new 50 becomes the last point (end of the flight) and the old 50 is followed by the old 1.

Any ideas on how to do this?

I’ve thought about the CSV table, but I don’t see how to get it.

Thanks

Here I am again.  
I have to face a similar challenge.  
The last point of a long photo mission is near as possible to the Home point.  
This mission has to be repeated in a year. The problem here is that the home point area will be inaccessible so I will have to move the location of HP, let’s say near what now it is WP 23.  
Regrettably, this projected HP area isn’t accessible at these times.  
So, again, I’d need to duplicate the mission but ‘rotate’ the WP numbers.  
I can only think in csv row rotation but…  
I don’t care if general settings would reset to defaults.  
I could not imagine myself having to create a new mission and copying every WP coordinates from old to new mission.  
Is there any clever idea out there?  
Thank you

I found a solution, at least for my needs, WP rotation. It involves a python script

I know that you have already solved this but in case you are interested, I have a utility that also lets you resequence a waypoint mission:

> **[Resequence Waypoint Mission](https://www.litchiutilities.com/resequence.php)**

> Resequence a Litchi waypoint mission by rotating the waypoint order. Choose a new starting waypoint, and the entire mission will be reordered from this new waypoint.
