To rearrange your User Defined Fields you just have to edit the "order" column in the UDF Form in Design Console.
If you want to put an User Defined Field between the Default Fields, the process is a bit more complex:
1) Set the field property VISIBLE to false.
2) Open the FormMetadata.xml file (oim_server_home\xellerate\config\FormMetadata.xml).
3) Declare your UDF there, just before the line <Form name="3"> (this is the create user form):
(e.g.)
<Attribute name="-1003" label="Country" displayComponentType="ComboBox" variantType="String" dataLength="1" map="USR_UDF_COUNTRY">
     <ValidValues lookupCode="Lookup.Country" selectionColumn="lkv_encoded"/>
</Attribute>
4) Finally add the reference to this field to the <Form name="3"> section, in the desired position:
(e.g.)
<AttributeReference editable="true" optional="true">-1003</AttributeReference>
An important note is that (in my experience) this procedure only works for optional fields. I don't know why it fails when I do it with mandatory fields.
