# <access-service>/api/v1/organisations/{orgId}/labels/{labelId}/priority

## URL structure&#x20;

```text theme={null}
https://access-service.xy-company.com/api/v1/organisations/{orgId}/labels/{labelId}/priority
```

where `{orgId}` is the ID of an organization and `{labelId}` is the ID of one of this organization's classifications.

## Supported methods and overview&#x20;

* `PUT` - used to shift the priority of an organization's [classification](/3.2/admin-org/managing-classifications.md) either up or down, based on that classification's ID.

## Detailed description&#x20;

This API endpoint shifts the priority of an organization's classification either up or down, using that classification's ID. The classification's ID can be obtained by calling the `GET` method of the [\<access-service>/api/v1/organisations/\{orgId}/labels](/3.2/api/access-service-api-v1-organisations-orgid-labels.md) API endpoint, which retrieves a list of information for all classifications in an organization.

A priority is defined by a series of consecutive positive integer numbers called *priority integer values*. These values are used for sorting classifications from the highest priority (i.e. a priority integer value of `1`) through to the lowest priority (i.e. the highest priority integer value, which equals the total number of all classifications defined in an organization).

When a new classification is [added](/3.2/api/access-service-api-v1-organisations-orgid-labels.md) to an organization, it is automatically given the lowest priority (i.e. the highest priority integer number). When any classification (except for the classification with the lowest priority) is [deleted](/3.2/api/access-service-api-v1-organisations-orgid-labels-labelid.md), then the priority integer numbers of all other classifications with a lower priority are automatically decreased by a value of `1`.

When a classification's priority is shifted:

* `up` - then the priority integer values of this classification and its neighboring classification (i.e. with the next lowest priority integer value) switch their priority values.
* `down` - then the priority integer values of this classification and its neighboring classification (i.e. with the next highest priority integer value) switch their priority values.

## Supported roles&#x20;

This API endpoint supports requests utilizing Covata user accounts with the following [roles](/3.2/admin-org/administering-users-within-an-organisation.md#an-organisation-users-roles) (as described in the [Organization Administrator's Guide](/3.2/admin-org.md)) and conditions:

* [Organization administrator](/3.2/admin-org/administering-users-within-an-organisation.md#organisation-administrator-role) - if this user is a member of the organization specified by the `{orgId}` of the request's URL.

The Covata Platform's resources available to one of these Covata users (above) is determined by the access token passed in the [header](/3.2/api/access-service-api-v1-organisations-orgid-labels-labelid-priority.md#access-service-api-v1-organisations-orgid-labels-labelid-priority-required-headers) of requests to this endpoint.

## Required headers&#x20;

The appropriate access token as the `Bearer` token:

* `Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiJ9.eyJleHAiOjE0NjcwMTY2NjYsInVzZXJfbmFtZSI6ImFsZXgub...`

## Required parameters&#x20;

The following required parameters must be sent in the URL of the PUT request:

* **direction** - up or down

  **Example ():**

## Returns&#x20;

A JSON-formatted response containing the following members:

* **id** - .
* **name** - .
* **description** - .
* **priority** - .

  **Example (response from ...):**
