Here's a suggestion from another board;
Originally posted by server
To correct 'sequence' or order of Today plugins
move ALL Un-checked plugins to the TOP
and ALL Checked plugins to the Bottom
then soft-reset. Your plugs should be in the order
you placed them starting from the bottom up
If that still does not work, then it could be you have
too many plugins and they are not showing so you can't
arrange the order. Remove them via Regedit and try
again.
..
It may not work perfectly. If you want to modify registry entry, the key is
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\TODAY\ITEMS
and also from the other board, the explaination of the values;

Basically all today screens should have 5 values:
Enabled, Flags, Order, DLL and Type.
Try setting these values to
Enabled=1 (DWord)
Flags=0 (DWord)
Order=25 (DWord)(this would be the possition in your today screen, I'm giving it a value of 25 to be sure that it takes the last possition)
DLL= <put here the path to the dll of your plugin, including the name of the DLL>(REG_SZ)
Type=4
Soft Reset after these changes.
If your plugin is not listed is because the DLL file was not found on the path given by you.
Exercise proper precaution such as backup if you planing to modify registry.
