I had a client request to have his sidebar widgets load before his content area on his wordpress website and while I knew it had to be possible, I’d never done that before so I did some investigating and discovered that it is possible w/ Genesis Framework / Child Themes, just add this code to your functions.php file (or in Genesis > Custom Code if you are using the Prose Child Theme).
remove_action( 'genesis_after_content', 'genesis_get_sidebar' );
add_action( 'genesis_before_content', 'genesis_get_sidebar' );
Now that I’ve seen how this works when I pull the client’s website up on my iPhone I can understand why they were wanting to do this. If you want to have some pages load differently than others you should also look at Genesis Simple Sidebars because it works well in tandem w/ this idea. Multiple pages can have different widgets loading before the content on the page.
