You can change the order of Controls (within a Composite) with these
methods: 
    Control.moveAbove (Control control)
and 
    Control.moveBelow (Control control)

So just add your Composite to the SashForm and then
call moveAbove (or moveBelow) on the newly added child to move it
into the desired position relative to an existing child.
