Summary

How can I programmatically change the order of my party members from an event, when I pick up a new party member. My party has 3 members, and instead of my new party member taking the 4th slot, I want to programatically swap him out with the second party member so that the second party member takes the 4th slot, and the new party member takes the 2nd slot.  I believe this can be done in VX using the following command: $game_party.swap(1, $game_actors[3].index)

However, when I try and execute this script in RPGMaker MV to swap the position of party members, I get the error shown in the screen shot below.


If there is a different way to programmatically swap party member positions, that's fine too, I just need to know what the command or process is to do it programatically.
