| Mar 15, 2016 at 19:10 | comment | added | Richard Fairhurst | The Sort tool can sort feature classes or tables into a new fc/table based on case fields. It handles both attribute and spatial sorts. This may be useful if you not only want to eliminate deleted sequences, but wanted your sequential numbers ordered based on something other than the sequence in which features/records were created in the fc/table (which is what the ObjectID order represents). Exporting and the Sequence calculation provided by CCantey cannot sort records and can only order the sequential numbers based on the original ObjectID order. | |
| Mar 15, 2016 at 19:08 | comment | added | Vince | The OID of a shapefile is the record number (zero-based); it doesn't exist as a field in the dBase file, and will be altered by deletion upon save. That said, the OID shouldn't be used for any purpose other than as row-number in the current manifestation of the file. | |

| Mar 15, 2016 at 17:47 | comment | added | RutgerH | can't you just add a new column with FID? | |
