Yes, it's possible to shift.  There's two ways to do it:

1.  Set a new value for $PageEditFmt in config.php:

$PageEditFmt=array("
  <div id='wikiedit'>
  <a id='top' name='top'></a><h1 class='wikiaction'>$[Editing \$PageName]</h1>
  <form action='\$PageUrl' method='post'>
  <input type='hidden' name='pagename' value='\$PageName' />
  <input type='hidden' name='action' value='edit' />
  $[Author]: <input type='text' name='author' value='\$Author' /><br />
  <textarea name='text' rows='25' cols='60'
    onkeydown='if (event.keyCode == 27) event.returnValue=false;'
    >\$Text</textarea><br />
  <input type='checkbox' name='diffclass' value='minor' \$DiffClassMinor />
    $[This is a minor edit]<br />
  <input type='submit' name='post' value=' $[Save] ' />
  <input type='submit' name='preview' value=' $[Preview] ' />
  <input type='reset' value=' $[Reset] ' />
  </form></div>",'wiki:$[PmWiki.EditQuickReference]');

This is the same as the default $PageEditFmt except the author field
is moved before the textarea instead of after it.

2.  Set a new value for $PageEditFmt in your layout template(s):

<!--PageEditFmt-->
  <div id='wikiedit'>
  <a id='top' name='top'></a><h1 class='wikiaction'>$[Editing $PageName]</h1>
  <form action='$PageUrl' method='post'>
  <input type='hidden' name='pagename' value='$PageName' />
  <input type='hidden' name='action' value='edit' />
  $[Author]: <input type='text' name='author' value='$Author' /><br />
  <textarea name='text' rows='25' cols='60'
    onkeydown='if (event.keyCode == 27) event.returnValue=false;'
    >$Text</textarea><br />
  <input type='checkbox' name='diffclass' value='minor' $DiffClassMinor />
    $[This is a minor edit]<br />
  <input type='submit' name='post' value=' $[Save] ' />
  <input type='submit' name='preview' value=' $[Preview] ' />
  <input type='reset' value=' $[Reset] ' />
  </form></div>
  <!--wiki:$[PmWiki.EditQuickReference]-->

which effectively does the same as #1 above.
