Actually, the cards can be added in any order, but the inputs must be
connected (under Input Connections) in the order of desired input
usage.  Oh, and this is the preferred approach.  I'm only making this
distinction as I know someone who (should know better, but) out of
habit/without thinking, defined cards in order, then connected inputs
out of order and had to restart the process to fix it again.

And, because posting this link is what I do, here's a link with more
detailed instructions:
