Good morning, sir,
in the manual it says:
In the right column, select the instrument (or staff) and click on one of the up / down arrows
Moreover, when you create a new instrument, it is placed at the end of the list.
In a score with many instruments, it is impractical to have only the arrows to change the position of the created staff.
I suggest an improvement, which would be to place the created staff below a previously selected staff.
For example to add a clarinet voice under an existing clarinet voice :
Fix version
3.5.0

It's a good suggestion. There are design proposals being worked to improve this flow, hopefully a future version of MuseScore will incorporate them.
See https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pull/5824
Haha, I love when things go so fast.
What would be really helpful though is the ability to drag the instruments up and down.

Could be an interesting addition.
