What do you mean by 'modifying the boot order'?
Grub's menu.lst (/boot/grub/menu.lst) has a 'default' variable. Set this
to the line you want to be the default to boot (first line is 0).
There's also a related 'timeout' one, which defines how long grub waits
before booting the default selection. 0 is no timeout.
In the same file, you can move the stanzas defining the OS's about to
change the order if you want.
If you mean which disks are booted from in which order, that's a BIOS
setting.
