Org-mode simply picks the first state after "|" for this.
You could re-order, or we could allow a string value for
org-archive-mark-done, in order to specify the keyword to be used.

If you don't care about the sequence of DONE and CANCEL, you can just 
reorder.
Since we have the "|" to separate TODO and DONE states, DONE does not 
have to be last.
Only if you do not specify "|", then the last keyword is used as a state
meaning that the item is done.
