There is no way to "test" the prompt text.

All the prompt text is is the text that is displayed should the parameter be prompted for in the Job Run Options dialog. It allows the prompt to be in the local language (the job parameter name itself has to be in ASCII, since it effectively becomes a variable name).

The order of rows in the parameters grid is completely irrelevant, since there is no interdependency. If, for cosmetic reasons, "they" want the parameters to be prompted for in a different order, you can re-arrange the rows in the parameters grid in the usual way (select the parameter name and drag up or down).

Are your test team aware that they can set up different defaults for job parameters in their test environment, using Set Defaults (in the Job menu in Director)?
