Our teammate Beda handles the feature request. I'll assign this ticket to him. For now, he is on vacation for a couple of days. He will get in touch with you once he will be back to work.

I have filed this request, you will be able to upvote it here once it's published:
https://toolset.com/feature-request/
https://toolset.com/feature-request/allow-to-customize-the-order-with-which-custom-field-groups-appear-on-a-post-edit-screen/

For now, the order of Custom Field Groups on Post Edit Screens is determined by the publish date of the Field Group.
So what is published latest will appear on top of the Field Groups Meta Boxes when editing a Post and oldest on the bottom.

You can drag and drop those already into custom positions when you edit the post, and WordPress remembers that (on a user basis).
