When filing jointly does it matter whose name is first on the Tax Return?

If you filed jointly last year, it's best to use that person's name first each time. But if this is the first time, it doesn't matter. Just be sure to use that person's name first going forward so that it doesn't cause any confusion with future returns. 

Does it matter whose name goes first on a joint return?
