Rearrange the order of the staves

I input a score for SATB, organ and strings. I put the choral parts at the top, then organ and then strings which I thought was a good idea. I entered everything, lyrics, articulations, slurs, etc.

Then the composer asked me if I could put the strings at the top, then chorus, then organ. I went into Instruments and just changed the order of the instruments and it looked ok and I saved it as a .pdf. Tonight I opened it to work on the parts and many of the slurs have gone wild. When I delete one and re-enter it doesn't attach to the notes, but is more vertical.

I tried optimizing the staff spacing and then the spacing became totally crazy.

What can I do?

Thanks.

I certainly am happy, but confused. I opened the score that was so screwed up last night and it appears fine. I sure wish I knew what happened or if it was something I did that caused the problem.

:D
