Hi,

Thank you for your feedback,

I've just posted this issue to issue tracking system as a bug.

Additionally, please note that AssociationEnd cannot be reordered. According to the StarUML metamodel, there are only two association ends: head-side and tail-side. (It is not a collection type)

Thank you,

You can achieve the same results that reordering the AssociationEnds would have by swapping the references of each end (and the names, multiplicity, etc. as needed).  It would just be much more convenient to actually be able to reorder the AssociationEnds.  You may ask why this matters?  It matters because when creating a code generator that results in the production of a schema for a relational database, a deterministic means of assigning the foreign-key holder is required in the case of a one-to-one association.  When I am trying to create a model that represents an already existing schema, this is important.  I see nothing in the UML 1.5 standard that would prevent the reordering of AssociationEnds.
