Just to close out this discussion:

You can not rearrange saved searches in v9.6.

You can rearrange saved searches in v10.5 via Setup.

If you are running both versions on different machines, you can move a copy 
of 'Grep Searches.xml' from the older version to the newer, with a 
temporary re-name of the file on the newer version. Edit them there, and 
move the file back to the old version. It's better than messing with the 
.xml file directly (but not as exciting, and with much more predictable 
results).

In 9.6 the file to edit is at 

/Users/USERNAME/Library/Preferences/com.barebones.BBEdit.PreferenceData/Grep 
Patterns.xml

while in BBEdit 10 and later, the pattern file resides within BBEdit's app 
support folder:

/Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/Setup/Grep Patterns.xml

Thanks to all who replied.
