Incorrect font order in menus

The order of the weights of my type family is not showing correct even in the Adobe Creative Suite menu. Below you'll see the WeightClass values that I used, and the final order:
WeightClass Values:
Black 800
Bold 700
Book 600
Light 500
Extra Light 400
Hairline 300
Final order in Adobe menu:
Black
Bold
Book
Extra Light
Hairline
Light
At this point I deduced that InDesign was ignoring the WeightClass values and using an alphabetical order. Then I tried again, now changing the weight names so they would be correct even in alphabetical order:
WeightClass Values:
Black 800
Bold 700
Book 400
Light 350
Super Light 300
Ultra Light 250
Final order in Adobe menu:
Ultra Light
Super Light
Black
Bold
Book
Light
As this second try resulted in a nonsense order (neither alphabetical nor respecting WeightClass values), I decided to look for help.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Did you check the final font (with ttx or OTMaster)?
And are you sure it is not a font cache problem: https://www.glyphsapp.com/tutorials/eliminating-font-cache-problems
https://www.glyphsapp.com/tutorials/testing-your-fonts-in-adobe-apps
Both pages are for Glyphs but the solution applies for all apps.

Looks like it was just a cache problem, it seems to be working now, thanks @Georg Seifert
