You can customise the sort order of totals for PDFs in XML. You will need to setup a basic module (and ensure it has dependencies of Mage_Sales and Mage_Tax), then add the following code the config.xml of your module:

Note: I have left the default ordering as is below, you can customise to your needs.

<global>
    <pdf>
        <subtotal>
            <sort_order>100</sort_order>
        </subtotal>
        <discount>
            <sort_order>200</sort_order>
        </discount>
        <tax>
            <sort_order>300</sort_order>
        </tax>
        <shipping>
            <sort_order>400</sort_order>
        </shipping>
        <adjustment_positive>
            <sort_order>500</sort_order>
        </adjustment_positive>
        <adjustment_negative>
            <sort_order>600</sort_order>
        </adjustment_negative>
        <grand_total>
            <sort_order>700</sort_order>
        </grand_total>
    </pdf>
</global>

Looking at the code found in Mage\Sales\Model\Order\Pdf\Abstract.php around line 547 (Magento 1.8.1) you should see:

$totals = Mage::getConfig()->getNode('global/pdf/totals')->asArray();

That means a element should exist after . The config file should be:

<global>
    <pdf>
        <totals>
            <subtotal>
                <sort_order>100</sort_order>
            </subtotal>
            <discount>
                <sort_order>200</sort_order>
            </discount>
            <tax>
                <sort_order>300</sort_order>
            </tax>
            <shipping>
                <sort_order>400</sort_order>
            </shipping>
            <adjustment_positive>
                <sort_order>500</sort_order>
            </adjustment_positive>
            <adjustment_negative>
                <sort_order>600</sort_order>
            </adjustment_negative>
            <grand_total>
                <sort_order>700</sort_order>
            </grand_total>
        </totals>
    </pdf>
</global>
