Good morning Mac;
I too consulted a dictionary for preponed.
Given the components of the word and the expected ideas, the word 'prepend' most closely
matches the intent, though it is jargon and not an official word either.
Postpone:
1. To delay until a future time; put off. See Synonyms at defer1.
2. To place after in importance; subordinate.
Append:
1. To add as a supplement or appendix: appended a list of errors to the report.
2. To fix to; attach: append a charm to the bracelet.
Prepend:
<jargon> /pree'pend'/ (by analogy with "append") To prefix or add to the beginning.
/pree`pend'/ vt. [by analogy with `append'] To prefix.
As with `append' (but not `prefix' or `suffix' as a verb), the
direct object is always the thing being added and not the original
word (or character string, or whatever). "If you prepend a
semicolon to the line, the translation routine will pass it through
unaltered."
