Let $P$ be a transitive permutation group of order ${{p}^{m}},\,p$ an odd prime, containing a regular cyclic subgroup. The main result of this paper is a determination of the suborbits of $P$. The main result is used to give a simple proof of a recent result by J. Morris on Cayley digraph isomorphisms.
