Stocking orders, does it really matter?

I recently upgraded to a 200g tank and moved over the fish I wanted from my old setup. Currently, I have four clowns and a flame angel, with a total of six wrasses on the way.

My next additions were planned to be about 4–6 anthias, two pyramid butterflies, and three tangs (yellow, powder brown, and either a kole or tomini).

The plan was to add the tangs last, but I haven’t been able to find pyramid butterflies from any of the vendors I’ve used in the past, and I’d like to stick with that species. Would it be an issue if the pyramid butterflies were added last instead?

In a tank that size order doesn’t really matter. I would just get the PBT last because that will be the most aggressive.
