Two questions that was not always clear for me [sorry for posting to this list :\]:

Q1) when cabling, is the color order important? like:

straight cabling:
A side: white-orange, orange, white-green, blue, white-blue, green, white-brown, brown
B side: white-orange, orange, white-green, blue, white-blue, green, white-brown, brown

could be eg.: like this??
A side: white-orange, brown, white-blue, green, white-green, blue, white-brown, orange
B side: white-orange, brown, white-blue, green, white-green, blue, white-brown, orange

Although logically it appears that the wiring should work,  I suggest you stick with the official 568A/B scheme, especially if you are using Gigabit fabric (all four TPs are used)

Pls. see
