These are my thoughts, please share yours.
While to us this is often just a names we may skip over, these are people that were chosen to serve the Lord. Casting lots was a way to let God determine who would be chosen. To be chosen first may not have been a higher honor then to be chosen last. It doesn’t matter as much when we come to faith but matters a lot that we came to faith. God has a purpose for us, He calls us to save us but this gives us a purpose just as they had.
