I believe that in general the order no longer matters because colleges can’t see your whole list anymore.

HOWEVER, I believe some states require State U to be #1 in order to be considered for state scholarships & aid. I’m pretty sure I found the official reference once by googling. I remember seeing all the states listed with their requirements. Maybe you can find it again.
