[SOLVED] Partition order in Arch Linux.

hi , I have tried in arch wiki but unable to find the answer. I hope you may guide me .Thanks in advance.
I am using it on my virtual box and practice it many times.I am using using "Legacy boot mode" on my computer.
1- Well In Legacy mode I  have created 4 partitions using /fidsk /dev/sda  which are as following.

1-  /boot
2-  /root
3- /swap
4- /home

Kindly let me know the correct order of the partition scheme? May I keep my swap partition in second number and " / " in 3rd order ?

1-  /boot
2-  /swap
3- /root
4- /home

If some one create  partitions which one  is technically right ? To keep the /root in 2nd number and swap in 3rd number or vice versa ?

kindly guide me about the partition order which is the right one .

Thanks,

The order doesn't matter.

Thanks "Scimmia" for the reply.Well it means that it is up-to the user the order he/she keeps.Technically and by performance both are correct.
