Well I find that when using my smartphone my fat fingers and the small size of those icons regularly cause me to accidentally tap "derailing thread" or "dislike" when I intend to hit the "agree" icon. (I also sometimes tap "derailing thread" when trying to tap on "funny".) Maybe it's not so much the order in which they are placed but the size of the icons or the space between them which could bring improvement in that regard. But perhaps some distinction could be made between "positively charged" ones and "negatively charged" ones, so group the positives together and the negatives together. Right now it's "like" (positive), "dislike" (negative), "agree" (positive), "derailing thread" (negative), "funny" (positive), etc. You already have "baiting", "bad spelling" and "clueless" all the way to the right, so perhaps it would make sense to move "dislike" and "derailing thread" to the right as well, possibly leave an empty space the size of an icon between the positive group to the left and the negative group to the right. But that's just an idea and it's not something I would care a whole lot about. Be interested in hearing others' opinions and ideas about it.
