Yes, as far as I know there is no GUI for that at the moment (and implementing 
it could have some side-effects, so it's probably not quite trivial).

Hmm, copying the content to a spread sheet application and changing the order 
there could work -- at least that used to work some time ago. Or you can 
manually edit the file with a text editor like Ben said.

It would be cool for Parley to auto-detect the language when copying/pasting, 
but there are a lot of more important issues in copy/paste, so this is not 
likely in the near future.

Cheers!
