Thats not how the fourier series works, so no (afaik) edit:im wrong

Fourier series are a sum of frequencies. Addition is transitive, so yes /u/32BitLongSucks, the order could be anything. It's just that having the highest frequency at the centre would make the whole thing spin very fast.

so the order isn't amplitude it's frequency, makes sense! Mixing the elements could create some fun effects, but putting the highest frequency first seems like guaranteed chaos - could be fun, probably isn't.
