The auth_user table doesn't exist until you call auth.define_tables(), so
either move the 'requires' into the Field() definitions, or move those lines
after auth.define_tables():
Field('prefix_title', ..., requires=IS_IN_SET(...))
also, i would like to change to field order. how can i do that also?

I don't think you can do that (easily) without defining the whole table from
scratch. If you just want to control the display of the registration/profile
forms, you can create custom forms and specify the order of the fields
however you want.
