Dan answered this one (also, IIRC, master and the upcoming 2.2 allow
translation of these from within the staff client).

If you take a look at the top of the openils.widget.FacetSidebar dojo
module* you'll see an example of how do do what you want.  Basically,
you add a classOrder attribute to the div that has a dojoType of
openils.widget.FacetSidebar in
web/opac/skin/default/xml/common/sidebar.xml (adjusted for your skin's
name, of course).  For instance, to push Personal Author to the top,
you might add the following classOrder:

  classOrder='[{name:"author","facetOrder":["personal","corporate","conference","other"]},"subject","series"]'
