Desktop preserves the window buffer order, so the order for the default
tab-line-tabs-function is preserved in consequence.

Since you customized tab-line-tabs-function to another order
in 'old-tabs', you need also to save your variable 'old-tabs' in
your desktop.  Please look in desktop.el what hooks can you use
to serialize your variable with buffer objects to save it with
buffer names as strings.
