Determine a date which correspond to the clean state of latest_branch 
(i'll use "yesterday" as an example)
On your sandbox (still on latest_branch, the wrong one):
cvs update -j latest_branch -j latest_branch:yesterday
and commit. This will apply your changes backwards, going to the 
specified date.

Then, checkout the other branch (older_branch) and apply the same 
diff but on the "right" order:
cvs update -j latest_branch:yesterday -j latest_branch
and commit.

(I'd try it on a few files first...)
