The solution given in [Data array multi-component labelling - #11 by mwestphal](https://discourse.paraview.org/t/data-array-multi-component-labelling/8006/11) is perfect for me. Perhaps the automatic labeling should be removed then, and users can put names in the file itself such that the information in the file is complete without having to look at the order of the exporter.
