Comment:

 You need to keep in mind that get_taxonomies() just filters a PHP array;
 there's no SQL involved.

 So, if you want a custom order, just do this:

 {{{
 $taxonomy_names = array( 'taxonomy_b', 'taxonomy_a', ... );

 $taxonomy_objects = array();
 foreach ( $taxonomy_names as $tax_name ) {
   $taxonomy_objects[] = get_taxonomy( $tax_name );
 }
 }}}

 For ordering by title, you can use usort() and so forth; it's just PHP.

 And, since there isn't a clear and common use-case for this, I don't think
 it would be useful to have in Core.
