The example was copied from ITK ? Then it should be correct, the only
thing I can think of is there is something wrong with your origin or
direction cosines as defined in your mhd / raw volume.

You can use tools such as gdcmdump / gdcminfo to get the Value for
Image Position (Patient) : IPP,  make sure that Image Orientation
(Patient) is constant and then order is defined by ordering the IPP.

D. Clunie recently released a sorter tool in his dicom3tools software
package, you could check with this 3rd party implementation.
