Does it matter if I write ClO or OCl?

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

these two are ions and its better to present the atom at the last which bearing the charge in this case O is bearing the charge so ClO^- is better than the OCl^-

OpenStudy (aroub):

so it doesn't mater but its just better to write it that way right?
