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.
When you insert partitions later, I don't know what happens, but leaving the numbers of the existing partitions unchanged makes sense -- the numbers might be referenced by the existing installations.
That might explain why sda4 now precedes sda3.
Correct. Actually, changing the numbers is not trivial, and is dangerous. Better not touch. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
