You would need to use the technique descrived here: http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Themes_2.0_overriding_a_renderer to override the method mod_quiz_renderer::navigation_panel
Well, that is the theory anyway, the way that method is writted does not really make it very easy to change. Probably the way I would tackle this is to override the method as
$output = parent::navigation_panel($panel);
return preg_replace( ... , $output);
Using preg_repace to re-order the HTML is horrible, but probably the easiest option.

Hi Tim,
Since your return from the States I seem to notice a degradation of your English grammar standards.

I think we have to blame that on the jet-lag, not the americans
Hopefully I have not been that careless when writing the bug-fixes I did since I got back. Well, I know I was one time, but then Dan P spotted the problem during integration.
For anyone wondering how QA testing is going, you need to keep an eye on http://tracker.moodle.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=11454. In terms of the quiz stuff, it is going well. Out of 73 quiz/question tests, 67 have passed, and 6 are still todo. The todo ones are mostly ones that had failed once, and I have now done a bug-fix.
Overall, out of 651 tests, there are 30 failures awaiting a bug-fix, and 35 ones that need to be (re-)tested. They are still aiming at a 2.3 release on 18th June, but that really depends on how long the last few bugs take.
I will say that having been using 2.3 while fixing bugs, some of the changes are very nice. Partiularly the changes to the Files system, and to the UI for editing the course page.

Hi Tim,
Could you please give some guidance to the part of php I am supposed to revise in order to get the timer on top of the block?
I already tried on the renderer.php but nothing changed.
Thank you,

I found the way, it is renderer.php and recode just like this:
public function navigation_panel(quiz_nav_panel_base $panel) {
$output = '';
$output .= html_writer::tag('div', $panel->render_end_bits($this),
array('class' => 'othernav'));
$userpicture = $panel->user_picture();
if ($userpicture) {
$output .= html_writer::tag('div', $this->render($userpicture),
array('id' => 'user-picture', 'class' => 'clearfix'));
}
$output .= $panel->render_before_button_bits($this);
$output .= html_writer::start_tag('div', array('class' => 'qn_buttons'));
foreach ($panel->get_question_buttons() as $button) {
$output .= $this->render($button);
}
$output .= html_writer::end_tag('div');
$this->page->requires->js_init_call('M.mod_quiz.nav.init', null, false,
quiz_get_js_module());
return $output;
}
