Description

When creating a label in the organization scope, the UI allows specifying a Sort Order that is intended to determine the order of exclusive labels within the same scope.

As shown in the attached screenshot, I created four labels in the same exclusive scope, all marked as exclusive. However, in a pull request, while the sorting number is displayed behind the label text, the labels themselves are not sorted according to the specified order.

Additionally, when creating labels via the API, there is currently no way to set this Sort Order.

It would be very helpful for consistency if the exclusive order property (exclusive_order) were exposed in the API as well, so that the same sorting behavior could be applied programmatically.
