I smiled when I read a '90s indie rock group's listening suggestion in its CD liner notes. The group recommended listening to the last five tracks first, followed by the first six tracks, because it "flows better that way."
After hearing it that way, I think they're right. I thought that was an amusingly passive-aggressive way, though, of hinting, "The record label (or our producer) wanted us to sequence the songs in this order, but left to our own devices, we would have ordered them this way."
