Thanks to Kit Baum, a new package -adodev- is now available for download on SSC. In Stata, use the -ssc- command to do this.
The -adodev- package is described as below on my website. It provides 3 one-word commands (-adodev-, -adoind- and -adofac-), which re-order the ado-file path to start with the various Stata system folders ordered in 3 different ways. This can save the user from typing a lot of potentially hazardous -adopath- commands, especially as the -adofac- command can be used to restore the ordering to its factory settings.
Best wishes

TITLE
adodev: Reorder ado-path for developers and other independent-minded users
DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
adodev re-orders the ado-file path to start with the Stata system
folders UPDATES, BASE, ., PERSONAL, PLUS, SITE, and OLDPLACE, in that
order. adoind re-orders the ado-file path to start with the Stata
system folders UPDATES, BASE, PERSONAL, PLUS, SITE, ., and OLDPLACE,
in that order. adofac re-orders the ado-file path to start with the
Stata system folders UPDATES, BASE, SITE, ., PERSONAL, PLUS, and
OLDPLACE, in that order. All these commands preserve any existing
ordering between other folders on the ado-file path. The adodev
command was written for development work, and allows the user to
develop ado-files in the current folder. The adoind command was
written for independent-minded users, who think that they can update
packages faster than their Stata site administrators (if any Stata
site administrators exist). The adofac command restores the factory
setting of the ordering between system folders, as defined in the
manuals for Stata Version 10.
