Ordering is important because any dependencies need to be built before they are used - if you give an arbitrary order there may be errors complaining about undefined symbols or imports not being found. A depth first ordering will work, and that's exactly what protoc does when producing FileDescriptorSet now. The change you were alluding to was released in 2.3.0.
