Some thoughts.

1. You could write some code to cycle through the controls on the form and Debug.Print their names, say, and see if that's the order that you're currently experiencing. It would give you a confirmation that the load is dealing with the controls in a specific order.
2. Create a second form as a scratchpad. Cut each graph from the original form and paste it on to the scratchpad form. Then cut and paste them back on to the correct form in the order you want.
3. Try changing the tab order.
4. Turn off Form Repainting for a couple of seconds while it's loading then turn it back on again.

Let us know what works.
