I found the answer in a similar thread: https://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=82643

What you need to do is:

* Go to your zencart\includes\templates\custom\templates folder (in my case custom is replaced by cherry_zen, yours may be different.

* Open the file tpl_index_default.php in your favorite text editor (I personally use Notepad ++).

* Make sure you make a backup of this file prior to doing any editing (you can do this by copying it into the same folder).

* Whatever boxes you would like to move, copy and paste to the top of the page, like so:

Let's say we want to move "New Products" above our main text content.

Look for something like this:

<?php
/**
 * Page Template
 *
 * Main index page<br />
 * Displays greetings, welcome text (define-page content), and various centerboxes depending on switch settings in Admin<br />
 * Centerboxes are called as necessary
 *
 * @package templateSystem

?>
<div class="centerColumn" id="indexDefault">
<h1 id="indexDefaultHeading"><?php echo HEADING_TITLE; ?></h1>

<?php if (SHOW_CUSTOMER_GREETING == 1) { ?>
<h2 class="greeting"><?php echo zen_customer_greeting(); ?></h2>
<?php } ?>

<!-- deprecated - to use uncomment this section
<?php if (TEXT_MAIN) { ?>
<div id="" class="content"><?php echo TEXT_MAIN; ?></div>
<?php } ?>-->

<!-- deprecated - to use uncomment this section
<?php if (TEXT_INFORMATION) { ?>
<div id="" class="content"><?php echo TEXT_INFORMATION; ?></div>
<?php } ?>-->

<?php if (DEFINE_MAIN_PAGE_STATUS >= 1 and DEFINE_MAIN_PAGE_STATUS <= 2) { ?>
<?php
/**
 * get the Define Main Page Text
 */
?>

Right above where it says DEFINE_MAIN_PAGE_STATUS, paste in your boxes you want displayed above your content, in this case the "New Products" box:

<?php
/**
 * display the New Products Center Box
 */
?>


<?php require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_modules_whats_new.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_modules_whats_new.php'); ?>

Upload to the correct folder on your server and voila! You now have your boxes above your text content.
