      my back day consists of (in order from first to last):
      - 3 sets pullups
      - 4 sets BB rows
      - 5 sets deads

      *OR*

      - 4 sets BB rows
      - 5 sets deads
      - 3 sets one arm DB rows

      so my deads are either in the middle of my back workout or in the last (but i always do 5 sets of deads regardless). SO, is exercise/set order really important or is it just irrelevent to building muscle ?

      Depends how important the movement is to you. Since DL is a power movement, most individuals try to lift near-maximal weight. Keeping the exercise last will subject it to the effects of fatigue; however, if doesn't matter if that's not a priority for you.

      It's a matter of preference. For some such things are really important, for some, less.

      However, I believe that in back training placement of deads is far from crucial. Do them last freely.

      I prefer deads last on back day. My deads don't get affected too bad from all the exercises before hand. While if I do deads first, the rest of my back workout suffers terribly bad.

      Also, by the time I finish my deadlift portion of my workout, I'm not usually wanting to do anything else in the gym.

      it will still build muscle. the order is only important if you have a certain goal. my goal is a bigger deadlift so i put them first in my workout. if i was trying to get better at pullups i would put them first.

      the order of your exercises is fine
