Layout- Arrange window order

Whenever I want to arrange graphs on a layout, I first create the layout and then arrange. I don't use the dialog by itself; instead I send the command to the clipboard where I manually rearrange my graphs so that they appear in the order I desire on the layout. Is there a way to do this within the dialog? Or is my way the only viable workaround?
Within the built in Igor user interface, there isn't a great way to arrange the order that graphs are added to a layout. However, I've created a package called Create Layouts that can substitute for the built in Igor New->Layout dialog. See http://www.igorexchange.com/project/ACL_CreateLayouts for more information.

If you're using Igor 6.10 B03 or later (this is currently the latest public beta), I recommend that you download the development snapshot version of the package from http://www.igorexchange.com/node/99. This version adds support for adding tables as well as graphs to a layout. Previous versions only supported adding graphs.

After installing the package, just go to Misc->Create Layout. The rest is (I hope) pretty self explanatory.
