When working with Xamarin iOS Designer, I open the .storyboard file in a text editor and locate the <tabBarController ...> node. Then I rearrange the order of the segues in the <connections> section:

<connections>
    <segue destination="274" kind="relationship" relationship="viewControllers" id="286"/>

    <segue destination="147" kind="relationship" relationship="viewControllers" id="159"/>
