It would not have made one bit of difference.Not a huge difference, but done deliberately. Actually I prefer your suggestion. Sequenced for a reason doesn't mean that they got it 'right'
for everybody's taste.
Good Day Sunshine would have been a more suitable track to open the
whole album, rather than opening just Side 2. And Tomorrow Never Knows certainly HAD to be at the very end.
For the in-between tracks I guess the idea was not to have two 'similar' songs running consecutively. Not difficult in this album because of the
range of fast/slow/great/not-so-great songs.
The contrast of the serious Here There And Everywhere with the trivial
Yellow Submarine is there I find jarring, and takes away from the first
one. If YS had to be there I'd have put it at the end of Side 1

I'm one of those that considers Rubber Soul and Revolver to be the #1 and #2 albums of all time. It does look like a good suggested order. But I would never trade in the order of the American releases, which are burned into my heart forevermore.
The British releases are of course, outstanding - and preferred by the band. But I love those albums just as they were - and are.
BTW - and off topic - This is a REALLY good radio station. It's free, from Arizona. Classic Rock catalog - and selected songs - huge and unpredictable... https://www.kcdx.com/listenOnline.php . Click listen online.

It just goes to prove my point, that whatever sequence you heard back then is the one that you think is the best. If they had been picked out of a hat and released that way, that would be the one that "burned into your heart forevermore."
