I made an eventually interesting observation (I am on gentoo): I changed more or less accidentally my desktop theme from "Clealooks" as part of the "Clealooks-phenix" package to "Clearlooks" as part from the "mate-themes" package. Thereby I uninstalled the "clearlooks-phenix" and installed the "mate-themes" package.
Since then it works with the icon order. So can it be that the theme one uses, is of interest for the occurrence of the bug?
