The order does not do justice to the more elaborate "costumes" of the earlier Doctors (you can hardly see Tom Baker's scarf and the ruffles on Jon Pertwee's tuxedo shirt are invisible). I can make an argument that it should start with a large William Hartnell and work down, but this way, you can repaint the TARDIS as #12 and keep going (although I'm hopeful that Matt Smith holds onto the role as long as T.B. did.) Still, I have issues with the handling of Smith's hair (am I the only one who thinks he has the same stylist as Conan O'Brien?) and David Tennant should have prominent red sneakers (or as I call them, Tennant's tennies); maybe they're hidden behind Colin Baker.
