Hello,
Currently, it's not possible.
Generally, it's not necessary since the SFDMU reorders the objects at runtime during the job execution.
Can I ask you what is your use case for such reordering in the export.json?

Thanks. So basically SFDMU reorders all masters before children. It's even smarter than I thought it was. 😃 Get Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg>

Regarding your question about the use case, may be I am not using the tool correctly but here's what i am currently doing:

1. Migrate all the Master data
2. Turn all the Master entries to ReadOnly
3. Migrate all Level 1 children
4. Turn all the Level 1 entries to ReadOnly
5. Migrate all Level 2 children

As a result, I would like to group entries based on how I execute the process so that I do not have to scroll up and down the list of entries.

Hello.
You don't need to do that.
The tool handles relationships automatically.
Just add parent lookup fields in child objects and run all objects at once.
Please read the articles of examples in the Help Center how to handle related records
