WiX toolset doesn't expose a method to control the sequence. You can cause new files to be added to the end of the sequence using the PatchGroup element. This is important if you use the old MSI patchwiz tools to create patches (becuase the MSI tools can't handle sequence changes, pyro doesn't have that problem).
