Oops, my bad.  You want group-order here, not tag-order.

group-order
     This style is additional to the group-name style to specify the
     order for display of the groups defined by that style (compare
     tag-order, which determines which completions appear at all).

I'm surprised no one else jumped in on this.  The fact that they're both
named "-order" is a bit confusing; for tag-order, it means the order in
which the completions are attempted, and for group-order it means the
order in which the results are displayed.
