  I ran into this same problem once before, and came up with a kludge
to get around it.

  (1)  Go to the first card in your stack and do a copy, and then a 
       paste.  This will give you two copies of the card.

  (2)  Now get the new card that you want at the front of the stack
       by cutting or copying it.

  (3)  Go to the first card of the stack and do a paste card.  This
       will give you a sequence of: old first card, new first card,
       old first card...

  (4)  Finally go to the first card of the stack and cut it.

Hope this helps.
