The placement is suggestive, but again, this is all framed as a bunch of visions with which the Doctor bombards the Matrix. If there is no in-universe reason for the Doctor to know the correct order, why on Earth should we take that order as read? A few minutes earlier in The Timeless Children, it is emphasised that the Thirteenth Doctor still isn't sure where Ruth fits in. It's not speculation to say the Doctor has no real idea in what place she should put Ruth. And if we can't take Ruth's place in the line-up seriously, then by the same token, we can't take the Morbius Doctor's place seriously either.
