Supposedly, the water will be hotter and not already mucked up with
"germs".

My home-ec teacher taught us glasses first, then silverware.. (the rest in the order you list). This was to get the glasses sparkling clean. We also learned that if one needed to disinfect for some reason, to add a tablespoon of bleach to the rinse water or pour boiling water over the dishes.
It all seemed silly to us at the time. We had mothers, maids and dishwashers. "Who hand washes dishes?" we thought. LOL
Yeah. I've grown up since. I still love my dishwasher though.
