You can rearrange app icons from the same view where you enable or disable specific apps; just tap and drag the grippy-looking three-bar handle at the far right of the list to move your favorites higher.

To change the order from the Share Pane, just tap and hold an app's icon, then slide it left or right to place it right where you want.

I moved the shared app icons I use most often to the left so I don't have to swipe in the Share Pane to find them. It saves me time and cuts down on the number of gestures I need to move content between apps.
