Hmm, it's very interesting to me that the concept of an order should be unusual when handling configuration settings. But then, I am quite new to that field. What I am planning to do (and thought that I could with the help of commons configuration) is to offer a list of cluster settings to the user in a GUI and give him the ability to add, delete and move those settings around in the GUI, which should then be reflected in the GUI's config file(s). Didn't think that was such a sophisticated task but it seems I'll have no options here but processing the XML config (or that part of it) myself then.

This feature has never been requested so far. Maybe the concept of an order is somewhat unusual when dealing with configuration settings? You normally only are interested whether a property exists and what its value is. Java's preferences API for instance does not support ordered properties either. What you want, seems to be more in the domain of XML processing.
