Yes, it is possible. I just uploaded a stack to RevOnline that has  
some handlers that will relayer controls while protecting hierarchy.  
The handlers included in the stack script:

MoveControlAfterControl
MoveControlBeforeControl
MoveControlToBeginningOfGroup
MoveControlToBeginningOfParent
MoveControlToEndOfGroup
MoveControlToEndOfParent
MoveControlTowardsBackOfParent
MoveControlTowardsBeginningOfParent
SetLayerWithinGroup
SetLayerWithinParentGroup

You should be able to accomplish just about any sort of reordering you  
would want with one of the above handlers.

Look for "Relayer Selected Control" in the Utility category. I *think*  
the handlers in the stack script are the latest versions. If you run  
into any problems let me know.
