Your are wrong. I suggest you read the rulebook again. The selection of who
fights and who hangs around at the back is a little bit more complicated then
this. If it was as you suggest then there would be no point in recruiting
fighters as they would be added to the end of your party.

My own impression after playing for a year was that the party order was
unimportant.
