@deirdrebeth is correct, as usual!
I will add this: Depending on what you’re doing, it can be really handy to have steps in the right order from the start. Take cutting fine details out from the inside of a shape, for example. Sometimes when you cut out the large piece it can release tensions in the wood, and your piece can warp… this might lead to inaccuracy if the piece moves or even incomplete cuts if the warp was serious enough. Yes, like @deirdrebeth says you can rearrange them in the UI later, and if you design it with colors already in order it can be really useful if your design is sufficiently complex.
I made a palette maker, it can be handy if you’re an Inkscape person:
