Define order of macros in toolbar

Is it possible to define the order of macros within a user's tool palette? For instance, I have a set of macros that I'd like to order by category, rather than alphabetically. It seems like this was achieved with the CREW Macros, but I'm unsure how. Thanks,

From this order:

Ah yes... That was a bit of a dirty trick.

 

If you open up the CReW macros and look at their metainfo you will notice the names have various whitespace characters on the front of them. I used characters from https://unicode-table.com/en/ but I forget which. But you could try copy and pasting the ones I used. The trick is to use the same whitespace characters for macros in a given "group"
