Asgore sorts the souls by colour.

Flowey has them sorted differently, in a more random pattern.

The ball game, presumably, was made based off the traits, but that doesn't mean it was accurate to the order they fell in. The order seems random. But is it?

Breaking up the colours into pairs: Bravery and Justice, Integrity and Kindness, Perseverance and Patience.

These souls are all right beside eachother when Asriel breaks the barrier. Could be sorted by age or how long they each lasted, or which he absorbed first.

I'm going with the Flowey pattern that starts with Patience since that's how the items seem to start out. Waterfall seems to be the place where the most humans lost their items, because Integrity, Perseverance and Justice all lost their items there. Or in Justice's case, seemingly threw them away.
