Why?
Submitting Patches tells about chronological order and last SoB to be
from the submitter.
These both are correct. Note the difference between 'last SoB' and
'SoB to be last [line]'.

Here is the excerpt:
"Notably, the last Signed-off-by: must always be that of the developer
submitting the patch."

I think having the S-o-b in the final line is far more common, and it does
help identify who added the other tags, i.e. the person signing off
immediately below. I don't reject patches that do this the other way round,
but it's something that felt unusual here.
