When you install onto a clean drive, the partitions are numbered in the order in which they are found on the drive -- that has always been my experience.
Rather the order in which they are created - which can change, the "history" of the drive can change it.
RIGHT! While 'fdisk' lists them by name order you can see from my example that this is not cylinder order and hence not the order they were created. In order to relate partitions to 'names' I reordered by cylinder number.
