My app has to export data from SQL Server tables, along with other data
(data about the data being exported) into a text file. I have several
checkboxes on my VB.NET 2003 Winform, which allows the user to select wether
or not to export that peice of data, ie, Export Sum Total. I also have a
user control that allows the user to select SQL Server columns in one list
box and move them to a "selected columns" listbox. This allows selection of
the data from the SQL Tables to export.

I need to be able to allow the user to select the order in which the items
should be exported to the text file. I was thinking about some mechansim
similar to Visual Studio's UI where you can set the tab order of the
controls on the form.

Any ideas, solutions, sample projects would be greatly appreciated.

You can have a set order button on your control, which pops up a dialog
with a list box in it, that shows all the items user has selected. You
can provide up or down arrow buttons to change the order of those
items.
