Wendler has set it up as Press - Deadlift - OFF - Bench - Squat - OFF - OFF
does the order of the exercises matter, as in did he have a reason for having it in this order, or can I freely move it around without it deviating from “531”

As long as you don’t do something stupid with the order, it shouldn’t matter.
thanks. of course not planning on back to back squat deads
They do matter…as in choose the upper one and the lower one you are weakest with and put those first in the week.
really? what’s the difference?

One would theoretically want to hit their weaker bodyparts first so they can make sure to have more focus and freshness available for the body part. It’s why a lot of dudes train calves first, because a lot of times by the time you get to the end of a leg day they are the last thing you really want to think about.
Now, that’s not to say that most people DO put their weaker parts first, lol.
After doing it for a while here are some general rules for the split I learned
If you take two days off for the weekend then the order probably matter more, Monday you being a bit fresher
