First off, you need to define - or even work out - what the new order should be, and why: there is nothing at all obvious about your example which shows why the new order should be "fourth digit first, then the first, the fifth to follow that, ..."
Once you know the order, it's pretty trivial.
Assuming your order is in an array of ints:
C#
int[] order = {4, 1, 5, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10};

and your "given number" is in a string:
string input = "9966234340";

Then just create a char array with the same number of values as the input:
C#
char[] output = new char[input.Length];

A simple loop will reorder them:
C#
for (int i = 0; i < input.Length; i++)
   {
   output[i] = input[order[i] - 1];
   }

And finally turn it back to a string:
C#
string result = new string(output);

Thank you so much. I will follow your guidelines.

Because you have a secret error in your secret code, making the solution a secret too.
You didn't explained the rules for number swapping, you didn't even stated a question.

Your code do not behave the way you expect, or you don't understand why !

There is an almost universal solution: Run your code on debugger step by step, inspect variables.
The debugger is here to show you what your code is doing and your task is to compare with what it should do.
There is no magic in the debugger, it don't know what your code is supposed to do, it don't find bugs, it just help you to by showing you what is going on. When the code don't do what is expected, you are close to a bug.
To see what your code is doing: Just set a breakpoint and see your code performing, the debugger allow you to execute lines 1 by 1 and to inspect variables as it execute.
