Core.PositionalInsert term (see OData-VocCore) support inserting items at a specific location via POST requests to the collection URL using the $index system query option. The value of the $index system query option is the zero-based ordinal position where the item is to be inserted. The ordinal positions of items within the collection greater than or equal to the inserted position are increased by one. A negative ordinal number indexes from the end of the collection, with -1 representing an insert as the last item in the collection.

For collections of structured type, the body of the request MUST be a full or partial representation of an instance of the collection’s structured type. Each member of the potentially filtered collection is updated using PATCH semantics. Structured types MAY include nested collections or delta collections, in which case the semantics described in Update a Collection of Entities applies.

Example 85: change the color of all beige-brown products

The response, if requested, is a collection payload containing the updated representation of each member identified by the request. If the update payload includes nested collections or nested delta collections, then they MUST be included in the response, as described in Update a Collection of Entities.

Clients should note that requesting a response may be expensive for services that could otherwise efficiently apply updates to a (possibly filtered) collection.

Services can advertise that a function or action is not available for a particular instance by setting its value to null.
