Yes, if you put the strongest people in the back the rope will be straighter, making it more likely everyone is pulling in the same direction. The more the puller can lean backwards, and the lower the rope, the more horizontal force he can apply. Presumably he can lean more, and get the rope lower from the back of the line.
In the pure physics sense, if 3 people that pull 40Lb 30Lb and 20lb the total pull will be 90lb no matter where you put them.
The last person in line is called the anchor he/she is usually the biggest and strongest of the bunch.
To most likely win tug of war,put the heavier people in the back because when they lean back,the rope moves further back.Now if you have someone that is only like 4 feet 10 inches and they are strong,still put them in the front.Heaviest to lightest would be good.

They changed the order of the team after the first round which they had lost. I have read this question about strategy and googled it too. I get the use the legs, put the strongest guy in the loop in the back, use leverage, etc. I understand that the loop changes things a little and that the strongest heaviest type should be in the loop.
