I think Ben meant something like this. I had not tried this before,
but it did not work for me

octave-3.2.4.exe:15> kids=get(gca(),'children')
kids =

  -4.7675
  -5.3755

octave-3.2.4.exe:16> kids=kids([2 1])
kids =

  -5.3755
  -4.7675

octave-3.2.4.exe:17> set(gca(),'children',kids)
error: set: new children must be a permutation of existing children
