ArrayList listArray = new ArrayList();

    listArray.add("one");
    listArray.add("two");
    listArray.add("three");

      ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
                android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, listArray.toArray(strArray););
        spinner2.setAdapter(adapter);

here took items as ArrayList and when user click on any item , break that arraylist in two part start to that point and point to last. then take one temp arraylist and add second part then first part so in that one . and again call

adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
                    android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, listArray.toArray(strArray););
            spinner2.setAdapter(adapter);

It's much simple by getting index of spinner from DB and set the currently selected index on spinner item,for example if the spinner position stored in DB then set it as spinner.setSelection(2);// Note : Position starts from 0,1,2,3 on array

So I understand you correctly, you want to reorder the spinner items based on the user's previous selection? You just have to update the Adapter that you assigned to the spinner in that case.

I guess you wired up a simple ArrayAdapter in this case, so a basic solution would be to modify the order of the strings contained in that adapter, after selection.

You can change spinner content as below

String[] items = new String[] {"3","4", "1","2"};
    ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
            android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, items);
    spinner2.setAdapter(adapter);
