That appears to be the way it is, unless you edit the source code and
recompile, unfortunately.

A possible partial work-around, depending on exactly what you had in mind,
can be obtained by creating multiple "servers" in PAN, but pointing them
all to the same internet server.  I've regularly used this for
categorizing my newsgroups, putting all of one subject category in one PAN
server, all of another in a second, etc.  Of course, you have to manage
the connections from the multiple PAN servers manually, then, as just
because you have more PAN servers doesn't magically mean you get more
connections to the same internet server they all point to, unfortunately.
=8^(  Still, it's convenient being able to group them like that, and it
/might/ just accomplish what you wanted to do with group reordering,
depending on what it was.
