As long as the issue ID is somewhere in the message, I'm fine with it :) But, for example, yesterday I was cherrypicking many small commits pushed by a junior dev to wrong branches and it greatly helped that it comes first, there's less mental burden, it's easier to spot. We also have a tool which checks issue IDs in commit messages against the issue tracker (various custom states in our flow) and, again, it's more robust and simpler to implement if there's a standardized place where to put your issue ID.
