It depends which order one has the Ushpizin in. I know of three: Yoseif at
the end, in spherotic order; Yoseif after Yaaqov, historical order; and
Shelomo instead of Yoseif, at the end, in both historical and spherotic
order (as well as matching Mi sheBeirakh). While using Shelomo seems to
have so much going for it, one loses the duality of malkhus beis David
(Leah) vs malkhus beis Yoseif (Rachel), and thus some of the qabbalistic
import.

Tir'u beTov!
