Also, as a right handed shooter, am I alone in finding the left barrel easier to control but harder on the shoulder? The guns I shoot regularly do have some cast off, I'll give the one I have with neutral cast a try at some point.
Im a righty, and do not find either barrel easier to control that the other. Most of my guns have a bit of cast off, some quite a bit. I find that makes not noticeable difference. I would expect that it would make it easier, not harder if it did have an effect.
I occasionally go for the back barrel first on long shots for pheasants. But those are one-shot affairs. Too far out for a second shot.
With ducks I used to try to remember to shoot the back bird first and then go for the close bird, which would make reversing the order useful. But I rarely remember to do that. I get entranced watching them come in and almost always end up focusing on the closest bird.
