But it would contribute to UI clutter.

No.  That's why I wrote "place the up button..." - don't think of it as "a 
toolbar button"; I think the UI design can be improved greatly if the button 
is not just "on the toolbar", but closely coupled with the combobox.
Thus, the GUI would change only in this *one* place.
