I am sure we tested exactly this construction with a screen reader user some
years ago, and that they coped ok. The WCAG say that the content has to be
understandable, not that it has to be understandable the first time it is
read in a linearised manner. I'm not sure there is a better way to construct
this type of content than what you already have.

Your website is very similar to an FTP client insofar as they also have two
lists of items and two buttons to move them from one side to the other.
Plenty of screen reader users manage to use this functionality with no
difficulty.
