Ok, since nobody seems to be biting on this one, I'll have a go.
If you add -ing to all of the words, a body part can go in front of each one, eg nail biting, jaw dropping, heart rending, lip smacking etc. I'm thinking that DA's instruction to arrange from 'top to bottom' may have been an extra clue. But not exactly sure how to order them properly. Would heart rending go above or below spine tingling, for example?
Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree.

I think I would order them top to bottom, as we first encounter them, so:
SPIN (h)
CATCH (e)
SMACK (l or g)
DROP (j)
TINGLE (s)
TICKLE (r)
REND (h)
BITE (n)
SLAP (t)
TAP (t)
