Yes - the prompt numbers by the cells record the order of execution.
However, I think that the reproducible case should normally be the one
where the cells are run in order from top to bottom. Running them out of
order is convenient, but to check that a notebook all works together, it's
common to clear all output, reset the kernel, and run all cells in order.
