Extraction is available only for Multiple Select Type questions and Matrix type questions.

Can I re-order the extracted question?

Yes. It is possible to re-order the extracted question to anywhere in the survey after the source question (The question from which you extract). However, once you re-order the extracted question you will need to set up branching logic on the source question to go to the appropriate question. Please see the branching help link under Additional References.
