How to change order of action bar menu items

I am using Action Bar Sherlock. I have a problem with the arrangement of the icons in action bar.

From the image below the icons should be interchanged I tried all the way but couldnt find the solution.

Here is my code

    public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
    menu.add(1, 1, 1, "CREATE").setIcon(R.drawable.img_yo_create)
            .setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_IF_ROOM);
    SubMenu submenus = menu.addSubMenu("SORT");
    submenus.add(2, 2, 2, "CARDS ADDED BY ME");
    submenus.add(2, 3, 3, "CARDS FROM MERCHANT");
    submenus.add(2, 4, 4, "ALL CARDS");
    submenus.add(2, 5, 5, "HELP .?");
    MenuItem subitem = submenus.getItem();
    subitem.setIcon(R.drawable.img_sorting);
    subitem.setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS);

    return;
}

How to interchange these icons by changing the above code

You have not set an order to your Submenu when you call:

SubMenu submenus = menu.addSubMenu("SORT");

Take a look through docs for menu. Then take some time to look into the getOrder()

Since they have set constants you should use for your order, not just 1 as you did with your CREATE MenuItem you should really read that first.

You should call: addSubMenu(int, int, int, CharSequence)

Example (I have not tried this):

SubMenu submenus = menu.addSubMenu(2,2,2,"SORT");
