I see some logic to moving carb heat to number one on engine outs with the
thought that if it was carb ice, you don't want to give the exhaust
manifolds a chance to cool down and you want to give carb heat all the time
you can to melt any accumulations.

Make any sense?

Yes, I think you're right. The checklist was taught to me as a left to
right flow across the panel, but the one time I lost power on take-off in
the winter, I actually did the carb heat immediately and it worked.
