Is it necessary to put the nameserver 1 in the first field in domain registrar account and name server 2 in the second field?

I mean if for example hosting company is providing these name servers.

NameServer 1: ns.inmotionhosting.com

NameServer 2: ns2.inmotionhosting.com

But in the domain registrar dashboard where i have to put these name servers if i exchange those name servers ( add ns1 in the field of ns2 and ns2 in field of ns1) For exmaple i enter:

NameServer 1: ns2.inmotionhosting.com

NameServer 2: ns.inmotionhosting.com

So is it wrong? Or it does'nt matter which name server you put in the first field and which you put in second field?

According to RFC1033, the order does not matter:

The domain system does not guarantee to preserve the order of resource records. Listing RRs (such as multiple address records) in a certain order does not guarantee they will be used in that order.
