I've always done the partitioning in %pre and used onpart.  You can also get 
things in the desired order if you use --onpart for only the second out of three 
partitions, but I don't know of a way to do this with four partitions.  This 
probably deserves a BZ, as it's been around (and annoying) for quite a while.
