How are you adding these actions? If you have the project displayed in the right hand side of the window, you can just click on the row handle for the first action, then press shift-return. That will get you a new blank action in the first spot (or in general, immediately before the row you had selected).

Having put the action in the right place to begin with makes any difficulty with moving less of an issue, but just remember that the vertical line at the right end of the indicator drawn when you are dragging a row about should be to the left of the checkbox or disclosure triangle of the row above where you are trying to place it — it shows where the row handle will end up, I think.
