This depends. Aside from the issues of space management such as additional optics for spatial filtering or beam size manipulation, the red tends to be weaker and the fewer optics it passes through, the better. However, long pass dichroic filters are more efficient than short pass filters and so, less power will be wasted with the red furthest from the scanner.
