Outer perimeter first

Maybe this is not specific for Slic3r, but for every slice program, however...

I have been advised to print outer perimeters first, to get a better bonding between perimeters and infill, as the perimeters tend to flow inwards a bit by this setting. Seems logical.
This works fine for me, but I was wandering:

if I intend to print an overhang, will it not be better to print internal perimeter first, so the free lying filament sticks better to the object and thus gets less droop on the perimeter ?

I used to print outer perimeters first, but I now find that I get better print quality by printing the inner ones first. I agree that it should help with overhangs too.
