there a way with the partition command to control where on the disk a
partition goes?
We use something like this:
zerombr yes
clearpart --all --initlabel
part /boot --fstype "ext3" --size=100 --asprimary
part /tmp --fstype "ext3" --size=2048 --asprimary
part / --fstype "ext3" --size=1 --grow
%include /tmp/swap.cfg
swap is dynamically generated during the bootstrap process. The
configuration creates the following partitions:
/dev/sda1 /boot
/dev/sda2 /tmp
/dev/sda3 swap
/dev/sda4 extended
/dev/sda5 /
I am not aware of any other way to make anaconda honor the position of
the swap partition.

We use somewhat similar solution:
part --onpart=sda1 swap
part --onpart=sda2 / --fstype ext4
For that to work in %pre section we run fdisk, which we feed with file
that has all fdisk commands written one per line.
%pre
/usr/bin/wget -nv http://myserver/path/to/file/fdisk.input -O /tmp/fdisk.input
/usr/sbin/fdisk /dev/sda< /tmp/fdisk.input
