I don't think it is fair to compare both - they both have different reasons for being nearly impossible.

1180 was due to ridiculous order requirement, but due to the orders being special candy combination, if a lot of special candies spawn, it could be theoretically possible, yet it would be incredibly unfair.

1998 was due to, again, ridiculous order requirement, this time being 30 licorice swirls. Even if the player gets down soon enough, removing these licorice swirls with the limitation of drop rate in mind is a gargantuan task.

In terms of difficulty, they are both above Insanely Hard/Extremely Hard since passing the level is so low that it might not statistically happen within a reasonable amount of attempts (thousands).
