Many of the basic administration screens allow you to specify the order in which items appear in dropdown menus. The default setting is alphabetical, however this can be changed to "Load Order" (as they are listed) in your administration screen. You can modify the Load Order by pressing the up or down arrow beside a particular item, in their respective menu. Custom fields are all controlled in the Custom Field menu.
A preview is provided at the bottom of the screen, to show you how the dropdown will appear on the various FIT screens.
