The MSDN Library says differently. You have to scroll way down on this page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default..../winxpintro.asp "Note that the order of these images in the icon format does matter. If the order is wrong, the icons will cause older version of Windows to function poorly when extracting the icons. This poor performance manifests itself in memory corruption and improper rendering." According to that page, the correct icon order is descending size, ascending resolution. My understanding of that logic was that you need to put high-res icons at the end so they're as far away as possible from where a system with unsophisticated icon extraction and rendering would look. I would like an answer to this myself.
