It seems that ToRDNSequence creates a DN with a non standard ordering.

https://github.com/golang/go/blob/master/src/crypto/x509/pkix/pkix.go#L130

This produces a cert with the subject line: C=US, O=Example Org, OU=Security, L=City Name, ST=State, CN=server.example.org

Note how O and OU come before state and locality, and state and locality are in the wrong order.

Typically the subject lines use this ordering: C=US, ST=State, L=City Name, O=Example Org, OU=Security, CN=server.example.org

Some examples I've pulled from the web:

C=US, ST=California, L=Mountain View, O=Google Inc, CN=*.google.com
C=US, ST=California, L=San Jose, O=PayPal, Inc., OU=PayPal Production, CN=paypal.com
C=US, ST=CA, L=Menlo Park, O=Facebook, Inc., CN=*.facebook.com
C=US, ST=Washington, L=Seattle, O=Amazon.com, Inc., CN=www.amazon.com
C=GB, ST=Greater Manchester, L=Salford, O=COMODO CA Limited, CN=COMODO RSA Certification Authority

Some EV Certs, which are probably outside the scope of this bug but I thought I would include them.

1.3.6.1.4.1.311.60.2.1.3=US, 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.60.2.1.2=Delaware, businessCategory=Private Organization, serialNumber=2158113, C=US, postalCode=94043, ST=California, L=Mountain View, street=350 Ellis Street, O=Symantec Corporation, OU=Infrastructure Operations, CN=www.verisign.com

1.3.6.1.4.1.311.60.2.1.3=US, 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.60.2.1.2=Pennsylvania, businessCategory=Private Organization, serialNumber=754401, C=US, postalCode=15222, ST=Pennsylvania, L=Pittsburgh, street=249 Fifth Ave., O=The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc., OU=Secure Edge Server - A, CN=www.pnc.com
