We don't have any direct control over how Excel puts our commandbar
customizations on the Add-in tab of the ribbon. It seems to add them to the
Menu Commands group of the Add-ins tab in the order they are loaded/created.
It stacks the first three and then starts a new stack of up to three, etc.

I suppose if you added two bogus/empty items to your code, between the two
you have, that would force your second, now fourth, item up next to the
first. That assumes nothing else it being added before your customizations
so that your first is first in a stack.

|I have been able to create a custom toolbar add-in using vba in Excel 2007
