Well, the point ended up being moot, as we decided that we would not hop our last day. However, I did talk to a very helpful CM who prioritized them at my best guess for some upcoming trips. My oldest (year) tickets were the most recently added ones (non-hoppers). The oldest tickets on MB were most recent (years) and most recently used (last trip). They were used correctly the first time we hopped - luckily!
thanks all.
