I have the same logic about flossing personally, but I've asked my dentist/dental hygenist multiple times and they've all said the order for flossing doesn't matter.

    My dentist has also said the order doesn't matter. My guess is that the benefits of flossing at all outweigh any small benefits from doing it in a specific order. I'm also assuming most dentists are just happy if you floss and don't want to nitpick on technique unless it's causing issues.
