(warning - I haven't reinstalled my GRUB2 since some devel version 
between 1.97 and 1.98, IIRC, so my experience *might* be outdated)

I maintain my own GRUB2 /boot/grub/grub.cfg .  The sort order of the 
items is exactly the order I write the menuentry "" {}s in the file.  I 
can re-order by moving the order of the entries in the file.  Did you 
start with a different-looking grub.cfg than mine?  I heard that some 
distros have been automatically generating some more-complicated 
grub.cfgs: that might be complicating the grub-config-script ecosystem?
