That's a very different thing until now I don't know  any way to make that. 
That's one of the big problems with bison, flex and gperf all of this generates 
C files and they aren't supported.
There are a way to force the order:
1) Enable the option to add the directories in the project.
2) Put the files that generates the .C files in a subdirectory called "A" or 
similar.
3) Move the files there and adjust your tricks to generate the files over the 
main directory of your project or other called B for example.

RHIDE will order alphabetically but the subdirs will act as a prefix forcing 
the sort ;-)
