It was possible before this commit:

  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-diffs/2014-01/msg00130.html

Now it isn't: the Emacs's own Info directory is always at the front,
like Glenn told you in his response to your original bug report.

However, you could perhaps rearrange Info-directory-list in an Info
mode hook, or directly.  Or just overwrite the manuals that came with
Emacs with your local ones.
