I have no idea about the current tool pathing creating instructions to avoid close cuts in succession. I would be surprised if that was the case - but I’ve been surprised before.
We have had Dan say that it doesn’t make a huge difference overall.
You can manually reverse paths to create a more efficient cut order. I did that in this post
For 534 inches of cutting, I saved about 1 minute by optimizing the cut paths - probably less savings than it took to reverse the paths.
In the long run, cutting the same project many times, you would see a cumulative savings in time. For a one-off project, not so much.
