Sequence
Decide the order yourself; an inherited order (alphabetical, as it came) is a refusal. Stop when every position has a reason.
The tasting menu: reversed, it's a different meal.

Try it on your work
Arrange the parts of your current work into one strict order (by weight, by age, by anything) and process them in exactly that order regardless of urge. Where obedience hurt most, your habitual order was hiding a preference.
Number your points before making them, out loud or in writing, and deliver them in numbered order with no returns. The point you kept wanting to move earlier is your actual first point.
Take work that currently happens in parallel and force it single-file for one cycle. The queue that forms shows you the true rates; the parallel version had been hiding them.
How it has been used
Treat the order as a design decision: the tasting menu, the album side, the museum route. Same items, different order, different thing. The move forbids inheriting the order: alphabetical, chronological and "as it came" are all decisions you're refusing to make.
