'Does the order of a HClust object give the order in which the labels are appearing on a tree?

I'm doing WGCNA on expression data and I performed a clustering using the hclust function:

hierADJ=hclust(as.dist(dissADJ), method="average" )

Then I plot this clustering (with some additional color coming from module detection)

plotDendroAndColors(hierADJ, colors = colorStaticADJ,
                dendroLabels = FALSE, abHeight = 0.99,
                main = "Gene dendrogram and module colors")

See the results in the image below

My question is: when I have the hclust object hierADJ, if I do:

hierADJ$labels[hierADJ$order]

Does it give me the order in which the tips appear (from left to right)? I really need to be sure of that before going further in my analyses
