Probably. I remember that numbering the ships (renaming them with an appropriate number at the front) changed their order in the fleet window and then I did some testing for the formations. Couldn't remember what the results were though.
I knew that construction order was the deciding factor in the cargo window and such but I wasn't sure about fleet formations.

Rex: the idea is you had to pull them out of the fleet to rename them. The numbering of the fleet goes by the order they were added OR counting down from the leader. Im not sure which one.

Taera, if Fyron is right(and I think he is)it doesn't matter what number you give your ships as they will be ordered according to their order of construction.
