All depends on who you get them from.  Easiest way is to set them up and do a test run and figure out what color order they're in and then set them in sequencer or controller.  There's all different combos based off the vendor you get them from.

I can do that. I guess I was wondering if anyone knows the order of each string type in the smart string utility. Obviously I can test each one and figure it out, but saw enough posts where people referenced picking a different string type to get a different order  I thought someone must know what the order of each one is?

For 2811s I always start my testing at the bottom of the list and work my way up, but has it has been noted there are differences in the 2811s based on type and vendor.
