Lista cabinets drawer question

I'm considering purchasing some used Lista cabinets. One of the problems I envision is the depth of the drawers in these cabinets. I have my sockets on the Hansen racks, the 1/2 drive sockets stand 3 3/4" tall. The cabinets I'm considering have a mix of 2", 3", and one 5" deep drawers, I haven't seen them, but I'll bet the 5" drawer is at the bottom. I'm not real happy having the sockets at the bottom, but would prefer them to be at or near the top.

So, can the arrangement of the Lista drawers be changed in the cabinet? There are two cabinets, one is the standard 28 1/2 width the other is the 56" width. I have four Hansen racks of 1/2 drive sockets, and then 6 more racks with 3/8 and 1/4 drive sockets. Add in the hex, torx, swivel, and crowfoot sockets and I may end up needing the 56" wide drawer to avoid crowding things. Although it looks like the 3/8 drive stuff will fit in a 3" deep drawer depending upon the liner thickness I use.

The Lista and Vidmar stuff that I have can all be reconfigured at will. It is all pre-drilled as the modular style cabinets are. I'd check on their website to be certain, but I'd say you are safe.
Lista cabs are VERY stout, but I find the interior size of the drawers to be disappointing. The slides use up a large amount of space over normal toolboxes. These are NOT normal boxes though, and will hold up forever, and hold about as much weight as you can cram in them.
