  It's not doing it on my (updated from an old version fwiw) site - i should look into whether any template stuff is being overwritten perhaps.

  The 'order' only controls a field set in respect of other Custom Field sets, it does not relate to Core field sets that show on Summary.
  
  Eg on demo I just made a new field set for Contact. It showed to the right of Constituent Information.
  
  I then edited the order to push my new set to the 'top' and it then showed on the left which Constituent Information then showed on the right.
