It is used to “reverse” the slope direction so that full berm will be located at the bottom part. An example is as below **Issue:** Full berm is located at the upper part of the slope ![](https://i0.wp.com/mes100.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Incomplete-berm-at-the-bottom-1.png?w=1080&ssl=1) **Steps to use Reorder Slope:**  1. The slope is as per image below ![](https://i0.wp.com/mes100.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Screenshot-2025-11-20-143212.png?w=1080&ssl=1) 2. To create the Effective Platform, click on “Reorder Slope” ![](https://i0.wp.com/mes100.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Screenshot-2025-11-20-142854-.png?w=1080&ssl=1) 3. Then draw an effective platform inside (by tracing the toe slope line). ![](https://i0.wp.com/mes100.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Screenshot-2025-11-20-144050-.png?w=1080&ssl=1) 5. Click on “Generate Slope” again to generate a new slope, with the full berm located at the bottom part. ![](https://i0.wp.com/mes100.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Screenshot-2025-11-20-144718-.png?w=1080&ssl=1) User may refer to “[**How to Solve Issue on Full Berm at the Top Part of the Slope in MiTS 2 (Reorder Slope Function)**](https://mes100.com/blog/how-to-solve-issue-on-full-berm-at-the-top-part-of-the-slope-in-mits-2-reorder-slope-function/)” blog post and video below for more info.

Its purpose is to provide more design flexibility. Refer to blogpost for more details: **[Slope Start Level](https://mes100.com/docs/how-to-start-slope-at-a-certain-level/)** # Conclusion In conclusion, the result of cut and fill could differ with or without using the reorder slope function. ### *Related* [![](https://i0.wp.com/mes100.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/me-small.jpg?resize=100%2C100&ssl=1)](https://mes100.com/author/admin/)[Ngu Soon Hui](https://mes100.com/author/admin/) I’m the [Benevolent Dictator for Life](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benevolent_dictator_for_life) for MiTS Software cum Editor of this website.
