Hard-coding the order works in practice — most of the time. Unless I much mistake, it doesn't work in principle. Users can change colors and label names, and I know of no way to sort colors or names to match what's in the Finder preferences. Maybe the permutation of the indices is fixed, but I'd be more comfortable if the permutation were documented.
