Workspace screens are ordered based on the order in which they were created.  This order cannot be modified from inside of NI VeriStand. However, you can adjust the order by modifying the XML in the .nivsscreen file for your project. You can complete this with a simple text editor.

1) Navigate to the directory where the project is saved, and open the projectname.nivsscreen file with a text editor.
