In general: use it.
Write a test for your function, a real world test.
Something you would actually like to do with that function.
And see in what order you did put those down.
Unless you already gothave (or know) of) some functions that do something similar.
In that case: conform to what they do already, at least for the first arguments.
e.g. Do they all take a document/object/file-pointer/series-of-values/coordinates as the first argument(s)? For god's sake conform to those arguments.
Avoid confusing your coworkers and your future self.
