I don't understand what the order has to do with it.

I use code like this to setup the dofs:

 for (ii=0;ii<ctx->num_species;ii++) {
    ierr = PetscFECreateDefault(PetscObjectComm((PetscObject) dm), dim, 1,
ctx->simplex, NULL, PETSC_DECIDE, &ctx->fe[ii]);CHKERRQ(ierr);
    ierr = DMSetField(dm, ii, NULL, (PetscObject)
ctx->fe[ii]);CHKERRQ(ierr);
  }

Everything is constant, elements (eg, Q3) and dofs/vertex.
