Hi @vrd83. It depends on which catalog you want to use to alter the table. For the RestCatalog, this is not a prerequisite. To enable altering the write order, we can implement a `ReplaceSortOrder` ( `UpdateSortOrder`) in a similar manner to how we currently support UpdateSchema. You can see how` UpdateSchema` is implemented here for reference: https://github.com/apache/iceberg-python/blob/03fa9f0b6a86fc13d855b24ce92e07b145faa500/pyiceberg/table/__init__.py#L1314-L1319 https://github.com/apache/iceberg-python/blob/03fa9f0b6a86fc13d855b24ce92e07b145faa500/pyiceberg/table/__init__.py#L264-L270 For other catalogs, such as Glue, DynamoDB, SQL, and Hive, this will be a prerequisite. We need the `ReplaceSortOrder` thing and the three bullet points listed by @Fokko above. @Fokko, please correct me if I've missed anything about the RestCatalog part -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
