Is there any command (app) overwrite the names in the partition table?
Not that I can't live with the unsorted names, just wondering...

There is no "renaming". Linux just picks the entries gives them
numbers according to there place in the partition table.

The only idea I have is: Delete partition 2 as well and re-create it
as partion 1. __BUT__ I would stay with what you have. There may be a
risk of totaly screwing up your system.
