Swatches out of position

I find I'm constantly having to delete and reload my Photoshop swatches  because they change positional order. I have them grouped in a certain order ... browns, flesh tones together. Etc ... but  they end up out of position after use. Any suggestions on how to keep them grouped in the exact order I am used to using? Thanks for any help!

Hi, do they reset to the default position?

This is how the swatches look when first imported...

 But within a few sessipns they end up looking like this. I'm not adding or amending any colors, they just seem to become jumbled.

It's sometimes fairly easy to move one when we try to select a color. Maybe do we need a lock option?

I would try to export the group, so that it is saved, in order to re-import with the wanted configuration in case things changed, sorry this is all I can suggest, I never experienced the issue myself.

I haven’t made such observations yet, could you please post screenshots to illustrate? 

Is there anything noteworthy about the times when swatch-switches happen?
