I think that Michael talked about the message header display which has
nothing to do with the order the corresponding info is written into
the RFC822 header. This is a GUI thing. TB! is not very flexible when
it comes to rearranging the elements of the user interface. We all
eagerly wait for V2 to see improvements...

The other thing: i don't remember the RFC822 requiring an order in the
header fields. There is the UNIX mbox format, where messages start
with a "From " line, but that is not the "From:" field you can see
when composing a new message.
