I am trying to avert having to dd out 2 partitions to external drive

What I am trying to do is renumber partition 1 as partition 2

Is this possible? parted and fdisk and sfdisk do not seem to provide
such operations.
sfdisk has a dump option. I would think you could dump the partition
table and reorder the partition records and reload it. I can't see any
reason that would not work.

OK, it's just that I did not want to wreck the drive, as I was not sure
it would accomplish what I wanted.
So, P2 will be renamed P1
and P1 will be renamed (renumbered) P2.
Will this affect the other partitions P3 and P4 in any way?
Such as, will it affect their starting offsets? Will the system
no longer be able to identify them by their existing UUID?
