any way to control disk order?

[Don Quixote de la Mancha]

You can label the filesystems on each of your partitions.  Then you
mount according to the label rather than by the device special file.

Let me ask google...

   http://tldp.org/HOWTO/html_single/Partition/#labels

For years the order of SCSI disks was stable, but there was never any
particular guarantee that the order would be any particular way.  Then
a new release of the kernel appeared that reversed the order!  Since
then the best thing to do has been to label your partitions.
