That's kind of strange. All I have in my xorg.conf is:

In the Screen section:
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
                Depth 24
                Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection

Now, I'm assuming by re-ordering, you mean doing that, ordering the
Modes? The only thing I can think of is that it's going to a different
Depth, which is why I added the defaultdepth line.

Also, gnome here (Debian) has a resolution settings,
gnome-display-properties is the program.
