The problem with this proposition is that — as you say yourself — these 
are adapted to your own workflow. I'm sure we can find dozens of 
workflows where people would say they want this or that option at the 
top of the dock. And in the end, we won't be able to find a consensus.

Moreover there is also the force of habits. This is not a good reason to 
not change things, don't misunderstand, but it becomes one if there is 
no good reason to change them (like absence of consensus), especially 
when the proposition is to change so much.

I feel that the right proposition would not be a reorder, but rather 
either update the GUI for everyone to create one own's order, or a 
completely different GUI if anyone had a great proposition some day for 
a better tool option's GUI.

Now I may be wrong.
But I just really feel this proposal is too closely related to your 
personal workflow.
