Attribute "SetBootOrderEn" is used for enabling boot order devices. If you want to change the boot order, there are 2 ways to do this using SCP file, either SetBootOrderFqdd attributes or UefiBootSeq attribute. Please refer the SCP reference doc (section 10.3) for more details on these attributes.
https://downloads.dell.com/Manuals/Common/dellemc-server-config-profile-refguide.pdf
Example below shows using UefiBootSeq attribute where i set Disk.bay.6 as first device in the boot order.

I am unable to change the boot order using ImportSystemConfigurationLocalFilenameREDFISH.py with this setting:
<Attribute Name="SetBootOrderEn">AHCI.Slot.7-2,NIC.PxeDevice.1-1,NIC.PxeDevice.2-1</Attribute>Output says change is successful, but it's not. Not sure if its an issue with Redfish API because I am unable to change via iDRAC UI BIOS setting as well After clicking apply with reboot, it goes for reboot and we can see the BIOS change window with progress bar. But the setting remains unchanged
python ImportSystemConfigurationLocalFilenameREDFISH.py $args -t ALL -f Settings.xml

I am able to change boot order via ChangeBootOrderBootSourceStateREDFISH.py after modifying boot_devices.txt
