The tiddler "view" is composed on several parts, each of which is tagged
with $:/tags/ViewTemplate. You can control the order in which those parts
are displayed.
To see the current order, you can go to your custom template tiddler, and
click on the "tag pill" for "$:/tags/ViewTemplate". This will display a
dropdown list of all tiddlers with that tag. The order shown in the list
is the order they will be displayed when viewing a tiddler.
There are several ways to change the order. This is (briefly) documented
in https://tiddlywiki.com/#Order%20of%20Tagged%20Tiddlers
For your purposes, the easiest approach is probably to add a "list-before"
field to your custom template, with a value of
"$:/core/ui/ViewTemplate/body".
This will cause your custom template to appear before the standard "text"
content of the tiddler.
