It wouldn't depend on the exact order, but on the devices listed.

When constructing the RAID it validates that all disks share the
same serial number. If a single disk has a different label, it's
treated as a failed component and the raid comes up as degraded.

N.B. raidctl understands wedge names, if the disks are using e.g.
a GPT, you could give them unique names to avoid any ambiguity.
