They're both unnecessarily awkward. Why not be god in your grammar, and
write the way we speak:
Select the Group Name you want to change the item order for.
In fact, there's a strong movement out there even as we speak that is saying
that it's OK to end a sentence with "to", "for", "of", "with" and all those
other words that our grade 2 teachers hit us with rulers for tagging onto
the end of sentences.
Good luck!
