move one commit to the top of all commits

I've made a commit, CM, and then applied several patches, P1 and P2. So my history looks like

C1-C2-CM-P1-P2

where C1 and C2 are two previous commits.

The problem is that I forgot to create patch for my commit. How to move my commit CM to the top of the commits? The history should look like

C1-C2-P1-P2-CM

Do a git rebase -i C1 and then in the editor that pops up, reorder the commits, save and quit. If there are no conflicts or things, it'll reorder it.

If you haven't push your branch yet, you can do an interactive rebase:

git rebase -i C2

You can then reorder your commits as P1-P2-CM, and re-apply them on top of C2.

You can use rebase -i.

$ git rebase -i HEAD~5

It will open your text editor with the latest 5 commits. Reorder the commits in the order you want, then save and close.
