Depends on the trailer.  Bryan's trailer, which looks like any ordinary 
car trailer, works best with Corvairs loaded front-end first.  How do I 
know this?  Because it used to be my trailer before Bryan bought it.  I 
towed earlies, lates, FCs, even the Fitch Phoenix.  The trailer was best 
balanced with all loaded front-first.

So, generally speaking, any trailer should be loaded in such a manner as 
to achieve the proper balance and tongue weight, and no assumptions 
should be made as to which end of the car goes first.
