# POST Reorder colours

Sets the storefront presentation order of the customiser's colours. `colour_ids` must be the complete current membership of the family, each id exactly once, in the order to present them; a partial or stale list is refused with a 422 naming the missing, unknown, and duplicated ids rather than being partially applied. Competing reorders of unchanged membership are last-write-wins. Requires `customisers:write` and an `Idempotency-Key`. The reorder clears the customiser's cached storefront configuration and runs the advisory language sync, and never regenerates Shopify products, product images, or the product cache.
