@Mike_Doc - Short answer: No.
Long answer: The widgets all use Skin Shortcuts template feature, which means they're all loaded in the background when the home page is opened (makes for far quicker switching between widgets, better animation options than the old method to do what we're doing with widgets, and so on.) And once they're loaded, they're loaded. Only when the home page is re-opened are they re-loaded, and so the random order changes.
What is technically possible, though honestly its beyond my own abilities to code up (not least because the widget lists share an ID) is using the inbuilt function Container.Refresh to reload them. Not sure how you would trigger that, or how you'd identify individual lists to refresh, though...
The alternative is not to implement them via the templates - then the list would be reloaded every time its displayed. But the time taken to display the widgets would be a lot slower, and the animation options hiding/showing the widgets are a lot less.
