   Backgrounds don't really have orders.  Cards do.  If you move the card of
the first background that you want to appear so that it is the first card,
that begins the solution to your problem, but the other cards that shared that
background would not have been moved.
   Of course you can't make a card into the first card in one step.  Cut the
card, go first, paste card.  It is now the second card.  Go first, cut card,
put that one where you want it.  You now have the desired first card.  (A
paste card always places a card after the card you're looking at; a paste
while looking at the last card creates a new last card.)
   To move several cards from the same background, I think this will work:
Create a new background field on all backgrounds with the same field name.
For contents place a, b, c .. according to the order you would like the cards
to be in.  Then use the command "sort by field "sort" ".
