From what I was told, yes, keeping the cameras in sequence is important. I don't think it matters if it's clockwise or counter, just that they follow a circular pattern. I think this helps the tracker. I was also told that your 'main' camera should be camera one.
Be careful when dragging the panels in order--I found that it's easy to get turned around and get the order completely mixed up from I thought I was doing.
Once recorded, the camera panels are set, but you can fix this in a compositing program. I use Fusion to correct this, but AE will work fine too. You can actually do this in Photoshop too using an Action, but you are then dealing with frames of course, which means another conversion to video again before iPi Studio can use the data.
Actually, this would be a great feature for a future version of iPi Studio: the ability to rearrange the order of pre-recorded video panels in DMC. Please, Michael? :)
When processing video, you can re-arrange cameras to be in absolutely any order. Just move the cameras manually (using "Orbit" control on "Camera" panel).
It is only important that the order of cameras is exactly the same in calibration video and in action video.
