Consistent ordering of product options

I have a product with a number of product options. I have set a display order for each of the options which works fine on the product page.
However, the product options are listed in a random order on both the packing slip and on my orders tab. When I’m fulfilling orders, I need to find each product option in the text. It would be much better if they were listed in a consistent display order.
Cheers
