Are you aware of the "--autosqush" option to git-rebase (and the "rebase.autosquash" config setting)? I find that using that combined with the "--fixup" option to git-commit makes this workflow a lot more intuitive. (Which is not to say that I wouldn't find an option like 'consume' useful but I find myself reordering the list very rarely since I started using "git commit --fixup=...".)
