My first impression was that channel ordering is fixed and that the
pipewindow always renders channels in the order they were created.
But having a look through the pfChannel manpage I see you do have
some flexibility:

       Channels of a pfPipeWindow are drawn in the order in which
       they are assigned to the pfPipeWindow. pfGetChanPWinIndex
       can be used to get the position of a channel in its
       pfPipeWindow list. A return value of (-1) indicates that
       the channel is not assigned to a pfPipeWindow. Channels
       can be re-ordered in their pfPipeWindow, or moved to other
       pfPipeWindows via list style API on pfPipeWindows. See
       the pfAddChan, pfInsertChan, pfMoveChan, and pfRemoveChan
       man pages for more information.
