Not for building epub3 documents but I know a thing about the task or
two :-)

Ant will always add directory entries before file entries unless you set
filesonly to true. Without that you don't have any chance unless the
files you need first are in the top level directory.
If you don't need directories or the special files all live inside the
top level dir it should work if you specify the files that need specific
order explicitly in a filelist (which preserves order) or file resources
before specifying any filesets.
Something like
<zip filesonly="true" ...>
<file file="mime-type-thingy"/>
<fileset dir="where your content is">
<exclude name="mime-type-thingy"/>
</fileset>
</zip>
