Here is a way you can do that:

public function boot() {
    UserModel::extend(function ($model) {
        $model->hasOne['profile'] = ['KurtJensen\Profile\Models\Profile',
            'key' => 'user_id',
            'otherKey' => 'id'];
    });

    UsersController::extendFormFields(function ($form, $model, $context) {
        // Prevent extending of related form instead of the intended User form
        if (!$model instanceof UserModel) {
            return;
        }

        if (!$model->exists) {
            return;
        }

        if ($form->getContext() != 'update' && $form->getContext() != 'preview') {
            return;
        }

        if (!ProfileModel::getFromUser($form->model)) {
            return;
        }

        $groupsField = $form->getField('groups');

        $form->removeField('groups');

        $form->addTabFields([
            'main_group' => [
                'label' => 'Main User Group',
                'comment' => 'Set the primary group association for this user.',
                'tab' => 'rainlab.user::lang.user.account',
                'type' => 'dropdown',
                'options' => $this->getMainUsergroupOptions(),
            ],
            'groups' => $groupsField->config,
        ]);
    });
}

Above, I added another field above the original groups field.

Thanks KurtJensen was just looking for this

I think a built in solution would certainly worth considering, potentially introducing an after parameter, e.g:

$widget->addFields([
    'birthday' => [
        'label'     => 'Birthday',
        'comment'   => 'Select the users birthday',
        'type'      => 'datepicker',
        'after'     => 'name'
    ]
]);

   ]
]);

is this solution added or added any other way ?

Nope, unfortunately but if you want to add fields after existing fields, try this:

$form->addFields([...], 'primary');

it solved my issue.

I use this function to place my fields when extending backend's forms :

/**
 * Add positionned fileds in backend form
 *
 * @param \Backend\Behaviors\FormController $form
 * @param array  $config
 * @param string $where
 * @return void
 */
private function addPositionedFormFields($form, $config, $where = null)
{
    $beforeFields   = [];
    $afterFields    = [];
    $sectionDetails = false;

    $first = array_first($config, function () {
        return true;
    });

    $beforeField = is_array($first) ? array_get($first, 'before') : null;
    $afterField  = is_array($first) ? array_get($first, 'after') : null;

    $fields = $form->fields;
    if ($where == 'primary') {
        $fields = $form->tabs["fields"];
    }
    if ($where == 'secondary') {
        $fields = $form->secondaryTabs["fields"];
    }

    foreach ($fields as $field => $value) {
        $item      = $form->getField($field);
        $itemName  = $item->fieldName;

        if ($itemName == $afterField or  $itemName == $beforeField or $sectionDetails) {
            if ($itemName == $afterField and !$sectionDetails) {
                $sectionDetails = true;
            } else {
                $afterFields[$itemName] = $item->config;
                $sectionDetails         = true;
                $form->removeField($field);
            }
        }
    }

    switch ($where) {
        case 'primary':
            $form->addTabFields($config, $where);
            $form->addTabFields($afterFields, $where);
            break;
        case 'secondary':
            $form->addSecondaryTabFields($config, $where);
            $form->addSecondaryTabFields($afterFields, $where);
            break;
        default:
            $form->addFields($config, $where);
            $form->addFields($afterFields, $where);
    }
}

Use it like :

$this->addPositionedFormFields($widget, [
    'birthday' => [
        'tab'     => 'My new tab,
        'label'   => 'Birthday',
        'comment' => 'Select the users birthday',
        'type'    => 'datepicker',
        "before"  => "name",       // positioned before the reference field
        // "after"  => "name",       // positioned after the reference field
    ],
], 'primary');

Maybe not the best or most optimized solution, but it does the trick.
