Change the order in ModernCV banking

Question

When using classic theme vs using banking theme, the classic highlights the job title whereas banking highlights the employer.

How do I make it so that banking highlights the job title instead of the employer, and comes in the order of job title and then employer like in classic theme.

The MWE is the following: (change the style from classic to banking for the change in the order of job title and employer}

 \documentclass[11pt,a4paper,sans]{moderncv}

 \moderncvstyle{classic}
 %\moderncvstyle{banking}
 \moderncvcolor{blue}
 \usepackage[scale=0.75]{geometry}

 \name{John}{Doe}
 \title{Resumé title}
 \address{street and number}{postcode city}{country}
 \phone[mobile]{+1~(234)~567~890}
 \phone[fixed]{+2~(345)~678~901}
 \phone[fax]{+3~(456)~789~012}

\begin{document}

 \section{Experience}
 \subsection{Vocational}
 \cventry{year--year}{Job title}{Employer}{City}{}{General description no longer than 1--2 lines.\newline{}%
 }
 \end{document}

Put this in your preamble:

\renewcommand*{\cventry}[7][.25em]{
  \begin{tabular*}{\textwidth}{l@{\extracolsep{\fill}}r}%   
      {\bfseries #3\ifthenelse{\equal{#6}{}}{}{, #6}} & {\bfseries #2}\\%
      {\itshape #4} & {\itshape #5}\\%
  \end{tabular*}%
  \ifx&#7&%
    \else{\\\vbox{\small#7}}\fi%
  \par\addvspace{#1}}

Code:

\documentclass[12pt,letterpaper,sans]{moderncv}
\moderncvstyle{banking}
\moderncvcolor{blue}
\usepackage[scale=0.85]{geometry}
\usepackage{multicol}
\firstname{John}
\familyname{Doe}
\title{Banking Executive}
\address{Address line 1}{Address line 2}
\phone[mobile]{+1~(234)~567~890}
\phone[fixed]{+2~(345)~678~901}
\phone[fax]{+3~(456)~789~012}
\email{Email}
\social[linkedin]{linkedin}
\social[github]{github}
\quote{Some quote}

\renewcommand*{\cventry}[7][.25em]{
  \begin{tabular*}{\textwidth}{l@{\extracolsep{\fill}}r}%   
      {\bfseries #3\ifthenelse{\equal{#6}{}}{}{, #6}} & {\bfseries #2}\\%
      {\itshape #4} & {\itshape #5}\\%
  \end{tabular*}%
  \ifx&#7&%
    \else{\\\vbox{\small#7}}\fi%
  \par\addvspace{#1}}

\begin{document}
\makecvtitle
\section{Experience}
\subsection{Vocational}
\cventry{Jan/2010 -- Feb/2012}{Jobtitle}{Employer}{City}{}{General description no longer than 1--2 lines}
\end{document}

Answer 2

You should just update \cventry to suit your needs. This is \cventry from the banking style:

\renewcommand*{\cventry}[7][.25em]{
  \begin{tabular*}{\textwidth}{l@{\extracolsep{\fill}}r}%
      {\bfseries #4} & {\bfseries #5} \\%
      {\itshape #3\ifthenelse{\equal{#6}{}}{}{, #6}} & {\itshape #2}\\%
  \end{tabular*}%
  \ifx&#7&%
    \else{\\\vbox{\small#7}}\fi%
  \par\addvspace{#1}}

Here is \cventry from the classic style:

\renewcommand*{\cventry}[7][.25em]{%
  \cvitem[#1]{#2}{%
    {\bfseries#3}%
    \ifthenelse{\equal{#4}{}}{}{, {\slshape#4}}%
    \ifthenelse{\equal{#5}{}}{}{, #5}%
    \ifthenelse{\equal{#6}{}}{}{, #6}%
    .\strut%
    \ifx&#7&%
      \else{\newline{}\begin{minipage}[t]{\linewidth}\small#7\end{minipage}}\fi}}

Adjustments are possible via xpatch due to the optional argument of \cventry:

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,sans]{moderncv}

\moderncvstyle{banking}
\moderncvcolor{blue}
\usepackage[scale=0.75]{geometry}

\name{John}{Doe}
\title{Resumé title}
\address{street and number}{postcode city}{country}
\phone[mobile]{+1~(234)~567~890}
\phone[fixed]{+2~(345)~678~901}
\phone[fax]{+3~(456)~789~012}

\newcommand{\employerfont}{\slshape}
\newcommand{\jobfont}{\bfseries}
\usepackage{xpatch}% http://ctan.org/pkg/xpatch
% \xpatchcmd{<cmd>}{<search>}{<replace>}{<success>}{<failure>}
\xpatchcmd{\cventry}{\bfseries #4}{\jobfont #3}{}{}% Swap Employer for Job
\xpatchcmd{\cventry}{\itshape #3}{\employerfont #4}{}{}% Swap Job for Employer

\begin{document}

\section{Experience}
\subsection{Vocational}
\cventry{year--year}{Job title}{Employer}{City}{}{General description no longer than 1--2 lines.\newline{}%
}
\end{document}
