I am creating VM with CentsOS 6.9 . I have defined partitioning order in my script as below

part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100 --ondisk=xvda
part / --fstype ext3 --size=1024 --grow --ondisk=xvda
part swap --fstype swap --size=612 --ondisk=xvda

but after installation its changing sequence order as below

enter image description here

I was expecting root partition should be second and swap should be third . But after installation sequence of swap and root partition is getting changed.

You need to use --onpart in order to force it on a partition,

 part swap --fstype swap --size=612 --ondisk=xvda --onpart=xvda3

I don't have a valid explanation for it but looking your output, it looks like lsblk is not displaying the right order

For sure you have already read this article (it does not solve actually your issue)

What if you try to list the partitions with fdisk -l and see if the order is the same?
