Hi,
  The "measure rmsd" command doesn't support an order parameter yet, as
you've discovered. I'll see about adding one, but in the mean time you
may find it more time-efficient to reorder the atom indices in your file
or possibly to select different atoms to use in computing the RMSD.
If you like, I could possibly provide a test version of VMD with
an rmsd order parameter, perhaps by next week.

Cheers,
  John Stone
