Comment:

 Changing the order of the label/input means that we can no longer use the
 `+` selector in CSS. Makes me wish for a preceding element selector. The
 patch is functional, but it opens up a wider gateway to potential
 compatibility issues with plugins, since it's now selecting descendents of
 `.check-column`. Could have also done this by adding two new classes, but
 I prefer this for simplicity.

 However, I'm hesitant to make the switch this close to release candidate,
 since it does introduce new potential for compatibility issues and only
 fixes a potential false positive in testing. This may be better considered
 as a change to be made in 6.4, so that issues can be resolved early.
