Yes, I know that all of the 10 Commandments need to be followed, if you are a Christian, but I do like their order of presentation!
I believe that the order of presentation is perfect for the way God would have us live. I think the first five are in the order they are so that if you follow them, the next five will easily fall into place.

IMO - This site has a good up-to-date explanation:
