No, the order makes no difference (except when recovering from an error)
It is an error to have two templates that match a mode with the same
priority.

Both patterns match such an element but only the *[b] template will be
invoked as *[b] has a higher default priority than *. You can override
the default priority by going priority="123" for any number that you
choose.
