Right click on the tabs and select "Create Layout", you can then rearrange as you like and save as a custom layout. After that, right click on the tab again and import your saved/custom layout.

You typically can't, they are positioned alphabetically. I override them for my own panels, but plugin developers do not have this possibility. Joe's solution works for users (although custom layouts are a very broken concept at the moment), but it's no good for developers. You have several options:

1. Suck it up. It's just the way GH works, not your fault, nothing you can do about it. (No solution at all)
2. Buy a thesaurus. You could rename your panels so the order in which you want them to appear is also the alphabetical order. (Pretty hard core solution if you can actually make this work)
3. You can prefix your subcategory names with numbers, forcing the ordering. (Pretty horrible solution).
4. You can prefix your subcategory names with whitespace (such as tabs, zero-width spaces, hair spaces and the like), forcing the ordering. (Awesome solution, terrible hack).

My bad, didn't notice it was in the "VB..." section when it popped up on the home page. Sorry, Jinsoo, hope I didn't get your hopes up! (Next time I will follow my Mum's exam advice and fully read the question!)
