Amalek and Techeiles!

A famous vort explains "Ldorotam" out of order, right before mentioning Techeiles to hint it will be later "nignaz" [lost, forgotten].
But wait!
We know Sancherib mixed up the nations making it impossible to wipe out Amalek (Yadayim 4, 4), but the Torah says explicitly "וַיֹּאמֶר כִּי יָד עַל כֵּס יָ' מִלְחָמָה לַי' בַּעֲמָלֵק מִדֹּר דֹּר".
Yeah, I can come up with easy answers too. I'm hoping for somehting more geshmak, which uproots the question entirely and says I'm a fool...
