Hello everyone. Last night I made my first attempt at sleeving with paracord and heat shrink. I ditched the heat shrink since paracord can melt anyway and is fairly secure as such. I have a Silverstone ST1200G with the PP05 short cable set and decided to begin with one of the 8/6+2 PCIE cables. I think for a beginner, my results look fantastic. I look Lutro's suggestion from a video to use tape around the pins and that worked very well.
My only concerns are the following:
Can I make my PCIE wires as parallel as possible? It is my understanding that the pins closest to the clip are ground, while the furthest are for voltage. My ground are all black, voltage are all yellow. Does it matter what order each wire goes in or is it irrelevant so long as all the correct wires are on the correct side?
So row 5 - 8 is ground, and 1 to 3 is voltage with 4 as ground. That's what I saw on my cable. When I get to the others, I will confirm it but I wanted your guys' opinions and thoughts
EDIT: The first image is upside down, or my number rows are upside down. Either way, flip one over and the order is correct, I think.
8pin PSU connector .. 6+2 PCIE connector
5 6 7 8 ................... 5 6 7 8
1 2 3 4 ................... 1 2 3 4
Basically just asking this again but in my words.. forgive me. I hope I make sense to someone.

This is what I am referring to and the below images are what I put together last night.
