Order XUL widgets | OpenWritings.net

You can control where your XUL widgets will be inserted by using the position, insertbefore and insertafter attributes.

Here is an example:

<!-- This is the main box containing the statusbar -->
<vbox id="browser-bottombox">
  <label value="One"   position="1" />
  <label value="Two"   insertbefore="status-bar" />
  <label value="Three" insertafter="status-bar" />
</vbox>
 
<!-- The output will look like the following:
One
Two
the status bar here
Three
-->
