I don't know, but perhaps that's best asked on an SSH mailing list? If
it turns out that the agent has influence (for example because the
client parses the list of keys from the agent top to bottom), then it
would again be something for the GnuPG SSH agent implementation. Perhaps
the order can be influenced through the sshcontrol file, I don't know.
Maybe something changes when you list the keygrip of the smartcard key
in that file.

Or maybe the "Identity*" options in ssh_config help.
