The order of the slots depends of the motherboard and the bios.  I 
had one board after installing a new bios the slots where renumbered 
to just the opposite of what you stated.

But as a note, as long as the bios does not change the order remands 
same between boots, except for 3c509 ISA cards and during a soft boot 
- then read IPCop website for more info.
