There are fewer grammar workbooks than there used to be. Prentice-Hall workbooks that go along with their Grammar and Composition textbooks have some of these questions. You might want to try a teacher supply store. That is usually where I go if I am looking for work sheets. Another publisher you might want to check is Arco.

The sentence ordering problems are, strictly speaking, not grammar problems but aptitude questions. These are the kind of questions often used in IQ tests. I am not that familiar with any books that have these kinds of questions. Perhaps a study guide for an aptitude test like the GED might have some questions like that. Most libraries have some GED study guides that might give you some direction. You may also want to check the publisher of Mensa materials as they work with IQ tests.

I realize this is probably not as specific as you like, but it should get you started.
