im not exactly sure if this is what you are looking for, but
if you say, would like to require certain fields in a form and
it does not have to do with the ordering, then you can do
this:

   [set Check_form]
   &success=fbresults
   &fail=@@MV_PAGE@@
   email=required
   &fatal=1
   [/set]

   <form action="[process]" method="post">
   <input type=hidden name=mv_todo value=set>
   <input type=hidden name=mv_form_profile value="Check_form">

   <td align=right>
   [error name=email std_label="Your E-mail" required=1]:&nbsp;
   </td>
   <td>
   <input type=text name=email value="[value email]">
   </td>

   </form>
   [seti clear_errors][error all=1 hide=1 comment="Clear errors"][/seti]
