Yes, it seems the order is correct, it just looks strange because I’ve
never seen such a key signature ‘in the wild’.

I appreciate the difference between sharps & flats more than many
musicians, but even I would introduce an enharmonic change rather than
use a key signature with a double-flat, if only to save time at
rehearsal:
“Where‘s the B flat?”
I explain there’s a B double-flat, and the key is F flat major.
“Why didn’t you write E major?”
...to which I wouldn’t have a good answer, and wouldn’t be able to
explain to anyone even if I did :-)
