Well, they might be, but the MAC addresses are definitely in alphabetic order.are you sure that they are not in specific bus address order?
This appears to be order mine are in.Mine seem to be ordered by MAC address

It is very easy to re-assign physical to a "role interface" (or whatever you chose to call it) in the web interface, you just have to use the "assign interfaces" screen.Don't think you can re-organise in the web GUI but you can always re-assign the interfaces manually on the console and I suspect you could probably also hack the config XML as well; IIRC it assigns interfaces to MAC addresses there also.
While this can be an issue, it is very easily mitigated, go into the webinterface and set it to always use the dedicated interface. For extra good measure, make sure to connect the dedicated IPMI interface to something, so it isn't given a reason to use another interface.Just a note...
That motherboard has IPMI, so make sure you do not put WAN on port 0/LAN 1. There is a slim chance that IPMI could fail over to that port and then your IPMI is now directly on the internet.
