You should probably add Angelfish of the genus holacanthus and Pomacanthus last as these tend to be the more aggressive ones. Especially if you’re adding larger specimens.

Yep, that’s why my second angel added was the regal.

Are there other angels that should be added first? For example, if I were to add an emperor, then are there some angels that I cannot add subsequently? Or not much difference?

I think for this it depends on the size of your tank. Large angels will eventually pick fights with each other no matter what order you add them in if your system isn’t large enough. Very much like tangs I’d say

Some angels are less aggressive and hence should introduce first. Example, majestic, regal etc. Once succeed in keeping them together, the future agression like fighting etc will be your tank size and luck. Some angels are nemesis to each other and known to fight after keeping for 1 to 2 yrs. However, there are successful cases. Do you study and plan. Lastly, QT very important if you want to keep big angels, as 1 infected one can wipe out your whole tank.

Genus, size, landscaping (hiding places) and other factors. i currently have Earspot, king, koran and french + yellow tang n american whitespotted filefish in my 5ft. Angels introduced in stated sequence n all fishes between 6-8 inches. 

What i found useful is that yellow tang n the filefish are able to hold its own and help to distract king angel's aggression. But the listed angels also tend to be the hardier ones. 

I did not quarantine but used partition for new fishes to acclimate.
