-adopath- does let you add and delete paths.  Perhaps delete everything 
after SITE, and then add paths back in the order you want them searched?

Also, this info is stored in the global macro S_ADO.  So, I haven't tried 
this, but I'm guessing you could just (carefully) change it, e.g.

. display "$S_ADO"
UPDATES;BASE;SITE;.;PERSONAL;PLUS;OLDPLACE

. global S_ADO UPDATES;BASE;SITE;.;c:\mydir;PERSONAL;PLUS;OLDPLACE

. display "$S_ADO"
UPDATES;BASE;SITE;.;c:\mydir;PERSONAL;PLUS;OLDPLACE
