Hashcat uses Markov Chains to calculate it's candidates. If I am understand your questions correctly this is what you should be after. Otherwise, no it does not process mask attacks in sequence 1..2...3..4 etc, it chooses the best probable candidate and submits it. So yes, each time hashcat is restarted the order will be altered. Otherwise, you can use --session to --restore from to continue an attack if it was interrupted or cancelled.
