I don't think so.  I don't thing anything (such as amrecover and friends)
other than the "which one is next" code look at the tapelist file.
You should be able to go ahead and reorder things now and they should
sink down to the bottom of the file, at which point "the right thing"
will happen and order will be re-established.

Note, however, my *strong* suggestion that you make a copy of the file
first.  If I'm wrong, I can still say "I told you so" :-).
