The simplest answer to that depends on your data, so please give a
reproducible example. Hints: try scales = list(x = list(relation =
"free", rot = 45)), and if that doesn't work as intended, consider
reordering the levels of your factor (see ?reorder.factor). Something
like

    dotplot(om_sd ~ reorder(as.factor(position), pr) | as.factor(pr),
data = <...>

should work.

By the way, you are missing the whole point of having a formula
interface; you can simply do:

sd.dotplot <-
    dotplot(om_sd ~ as.factor(position) | as.factor(pr),
            data = data.47.nmr,
            <...>
