I was the last of five to write on a film called, "Solace." When my name was entered, the order was "5,5,5 --- yet my name appears at the top, as if it were the first. How do I make it the last (5th)?
You should be able to order them by clicking "edit page," choosing to correct the writers, then changing "keep" to "correct" next to each name and clicking "check these updates." That will make the entries editable.
However, I assume since your credit was just added, it hasn't yet appeared on the "edit" mode page (this is very common). So, if you wait a day or two and try it, it should work.
See the writer's submission guide, http://www.imdb.com/updates/guide/writers,
for an explanation of writer order numbers. Note particularly that the
order of writing on the project is irrelevant. What IMDb records is the
order in which writing credits appear in the onscreen titles and
credits.

A contributor messaged me to ask you to check the number order you added.
For 5,5,5 to be valid, at minimum, these other order positions must also exist (meaning there are twelve positions before yours):
1,1,1
2,1,1
3,1,1
4,1,1
5,1,1
5,2,1
5,3,1
5,4,1
5,5,1
5,5,2
5,5,3
5,5,4
