I appologize for my vagueness, after digging into the workings of the code more, I realized I should of said: "How do I reorder the instance-based descriptions"?

In the form editor (invoked by PREditFormCommand), editing the priorities of the descriptions labeled under "elements" in an adaptive form doesn't seem to do anything.  An example of the type of description editor that I'm looking for is the form editor in Aare that you presented in your master thesis, where you can move the order of the descriptions up and down, in addition to removing and editing them.

Let me know if I'm still not making much sense here.  This meta stuff and Smalltalk are still very new to me, so I might not be using the correct terminologies here.

Aha, I see. The description methods (methods starting with  
#description) on the class side of PRStructure and its subclassses  
are the thing you want to look at. These methods answer descriptions  
with priorities and get sorted according to this number to place them  
in order.

Hope this helps,
Lukas
