Not exactly, strings in PO files have the same order as in templates files.

Po-debconf is mostly agnostic with respect to field names, all that
matters is the number of underscores before field names.  This is
very handy because almost any rfc822 file can be used with po-debconf,
like tasksel and doc-base.  So I am very reluctant to add special
cases.
A solution is to put Choices after Description in templates files,
but this will break podebconf-display-po, I need to fix it first.
