Use a swizzle operation. Either a swizzle vop in an attribute vop or with a wrangle.

For example in a wrangle you can use the swizzle syntax or the set function:

@P = @P.xzy;

@P = set(@P.x, @P.z, @P.y);

2 years into Houdini and didn't know about the first syntax for swizzling yet! Thanks!

Thanks for the share!
