Modeller always outputs atoms in the same order. This is defined by the CHARMM topology library (usually modlib/top_heav.lib) which you can of course alter if you want a different order.
We cannot output atoms in "PDB order" because there is no consistent ordering. If some servers cannot read atoms in different orders, then these servers are broken, and should be fixed.
