PSU wire order (do blacks matter)

I am sheathing my psu cable and am doing the floppy connector on the end of the chain. From the front the red is on the left and the yellow is on the right, but do I need to keep the two blacks straight? Both are just grounds, right?
 
I keep em in the same spot pretty easily.

When I remove the molexes, I pull (for example) the yellow up and down the chain, then the black next to it. Then I pair them with masking tape over the connectors. Then I do the same for the other pair.

They actually slide through the sleeving a little easier paired instead of all 4 taped together.
 
The order of grounds don't matter any more, but they did back in the day. Today, if special treatment was required then the ground wires would be color-coded differently (perhaps black with a yellow stripe for the +12 return, black w/ red stripe for +5 return, etc.).
