Answer 1

You can do it by JQuery simply by some codes like this :
$('#GRIDID').find(".t-filter").click(function () {
setTimeout(function () {
$(".t-filter-operator").html('<option value="substringof">Contains</option><option value="notsubstringof">Does not contain</option>');
});
});
NOTE : the above code is a sample, you should do a process to check what operators you have and then repopulate the items in desired order. You can find all allowed "option" tags by inspecting the rendered grid.

The easy way (if you're using MVC razor syntax)
#Html.Kendo().Grid<Model>().Columns(columns =>
{
columns.Bound(x => x.variableName);
})
.Filterable(filterable => filterable
.Extra(false)
.Operators(operators => operators
.ForString(str => str.Clear()
.Contains("Contains").DoesNotContain("DoesNotContain").WhateverYouNeed)
.ForEnums( dat => dat.Clear()
.IsEqualTo("Is Equal To"))
))
Here, the Clear() empties the options in the filter and then you can add the ones you want or even create your own custom ones there, simply place them there in the order that you want.
Have fun!
