Make a .ASM module that contains no code or data but does define
all the sections you want to explicitely order, in the order you desire
them.  Make this module the first .OBJ file in your link directives.
I haven't tested this with the 2.0 compiler but it's worked before.

If you want to use the IDE Project facility, it always links the C0? module
first, so find the source to it and add your segment ordering to that file
and re-assemble.
