It took me a while to figure out why the placement parameter was not changing anything. I started of with the following:

'decorators' => array(
	array('Label'),
	array('ViewHelper')
)


Unfortunately switching the order between Label and ViewHelper did not change the order of elements. So I found this parameter called “placement”.

'decorators' => array(
	array('Label', array('placement' => 'APPEND')),
	array('ViewHelper')
)

It can take two values: PREPEND or APPEND. At this point however I did not realize that now the order of Label and ViewHelper did matter. Only the order below will make any difference to the html elements order.

'decorators' => array(
	array('ViewHelper'),
	array('Label', array('placement' => 'APPEND'))
)

This finally resulted in the desired effect.
