What planets switch places in planet order?

No normal planets actually switch orbits the way that Janus and Epimethius (Saturn moons) do in a co-orbit. Some Dwarf Planets sometimes are closer or farther from the sun than other kindred Dwarf Planets depending on their locations along their orbits. Pluto is sometimes closer to the sun than Neptune. Haumea is usually further from the sun than Pluto but sometimes is closer. Makemake has the same relationship with Haumea. Eris is usually the farthest but sometimes in its elliptical orbit is closer to the sun than Haumea.
