Nothing like this currently exists.  I think we have plans to allow
content authors to re-order books, but we hadn't considered allowing
users to do so later on.  I wouldn't have thought of it.  But now that
you mention it, I might be more comfortable taking the Tanach and
re-ordering it to the traditional Protestant ordering.  So it sounds
like a valuable feature, and relatively simple to enact, once we can
handle multiple versifications.

We could either handle book order as a function of versification, or
separately.  So, for example, a user to choose to put the BHS in KJV
book order, but retain the BHS versification; or vice versa.
