Yes the neck will lose tension and also, if you have a floyd rose it'll be a pain in the ass to re-adjust the bridge.

But mainly because of the tension

Oh and on topic, I usually go from thinnest to fattest

Oman, I took all the strings off of my floyd rose once. Almost just chucked the guitar and bought a new one. Re-adjusting that was so annoying.

Haha, I did that the first time.
Bro came in: "Omg dude you're fucking screwed".

I didn't understand, until after I was done taking off the last string.

I cried.

I freaking hate floyd roses, I had a jackson dinky with one and it drove me fucking nuts, now I just get guitars without em and just put on sperzel locking tuners, problem solved for me.

Take all of your strings off and clean/oil the fretboard - Dunlop 65 lemon oil is great for this (unless you have a maple fretboard). I string from the top to bottom (E to A for you) out of habit, I find that stringing bottom to top wears out the heavier strings faster as they get stretched a bit more.
