The argument, which I do not buy as sufficient but add here for completeness, is that it’s better for your large purchases (ie rent) to clear before your $10 lunch, etc.

That's only true if you do not have overdraft, and therefore some transactions will be denied.

But re-ordering all of your deposits so they were applied after your debits was certainly not better for any purchases.
