I assume from what I've heard this is going to be very centralized, because I can't see how you could fit the concept into a system and retain the global ordered clock function. Bitcoin is very careful to only order transactions by what block they are in and not where they are in the block. Etherium does not do this, leading to some pretty horrible and/or hilarious front running attacks.

Transaction order within a bitcoin block definitely matters: if transaction b spends the ouput of transaction a within the same block, then a MUST preceed b. Also, the coinbase transaction must be the first. Other than that the order is arbitrary.
