,----[ C-h f define-key-after RET ]
| define-key-after is a compiled Lisp function in `subr'.
| (define-key-after KEYMAP KEY DEFINITION &optional AFTER)
|
| Add binding in KEYMAP for KEY => DEFINITION, right after AFTER's binding.
| This is like `define-key' except that the binding for KEY is placed
| just after the binding for the event AFTER, instead of at the beginning
| of the map.  Note that AFTER must be an event type (like KEY), NOT a 
command
| (like DEFINITION).
|
| If AFTER is t or omitted, the new binding goes at the end of the keymap.
|
| KEY must contain just one event type--that is to say, it must be a
| string or vector of length 1, but AFTER should be a single event
| type--a symbol or a character, not a sequence.
|
| Bindings are always added before any inherited map.
|
| The order of bindings in a keymap matters when it is used as a menu.

Does this work?

(define-key-after (lookup-key global-map [menu-bar]) [rsave]
  '("Save" . save-buffer) 'tools)
