You can renumber the editable text items in a dialog with ResEdit. Open
the DITL, and select an item.  Choosing "Send To Front" from the DITL menu
puts that item at the END of the resource list. Select another item and do
the same. The new item is now the end, and the previous item is just
before the end. A little thought will get you the renumbering you want.

(I use MockWrite to build the RMaker script by hand from the dialog: I
open each dialog item to get its bounding rect, then write the spec into
my MockWrite window.  I find it easier to work in MockWrite to get my
boxes to line up, than it is in ResEdit.)
