openssh unix dev - Aug 2014 - Cipher Order in sshd_config

Hi 

Sorry to disturb you but I am looking for a question I have, but I don't
find any clue for it on the archive list, neither Internet (google search).
Id like to know in sshd_config file, if the order given for cipher key word has
an impact  please?
I mean is there a difference for the server if I do the config like :
e.g
Ciphers aes128-ctr,aes256-ctr
vs
Ciphers aes256-ctr,aes128-ctr 
?

It matters on the client but not on the server (see RFC4253 section 7.1)
The selected method will be the first on the client's list that appears on
the server's list.
