Reorder samples in a PLINK dataset

Question

[pufferfish]

Is it possible to reorder samples in a PLINK dataset, per an order specified in a second file?

I've tried the --keep and --recode options, but they don't do it

Interesting to know why would you need them to be ordered?

Some programs like PREST-plus need the data to be sorted by FID/IID to run properly.

plink --bfile [original fileset] --indiv-sort f [file describing new order] --make-bed --out [new prefix]
