With SolidWorks 2004 (standard) you can now animate exploded views. However, for it to appear realistic the order in which the parts are exploded needs to be correct. If a mistake is made, is it possible to retrospectively re-order the explode steps? I have tried moving the explode steps within the feature tree in the same way as you would re-order parts within an assembly, but without success.

I haven't found a good way of changing which step comes first. About the only thing I could recommend is to switch the parts that are selected then that step.
Hope that helps.
