The order in the layouts list is determined by the order they appear in the
.layout file.
So you need your style file to be something like the following:
(assuming it is based on the article class)

#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
#  \DeclareLaTeXClass{article (OneColAbstract)}

Input article

Style OneColAbstract
...

However, if I recall correctly, using the onecolabstract environment from
abstract.sty will not give you a one column abstract.
You need to do the following (without using abstract.sty):

1. Put the following lines in the preamble:

 \let\oldmaketitle=\maketitle
 \renewcommand{\maketitle}{}
  
2. Before the abstract, put the following line (in latex mode):
  
 \twocolumn[\oldmaketitle\begin{@twocolumnfalse}
   
3. After the abstract, put the following line (in latex mode):
   
 \end{@twocolumnfalse}]
