Answer 1

I agree with Lorenz, you cannot force your application to specific place in application list.

But you can add a shortcut to Home Screen whenever you launch the application, so that application is always accessible from HOME.

Try this for adding shortcut.

Answer 2

I think you just need to move the app starter to the desired place. Moving an app starter can be done with long click on the app starter icon and then move it to the right place.

If a new android application is installed it automatically places it to the end of the app list on your phone. You have to move it then manually...
