Umm no.
The only reason for connecting the positive lead first is so that when you make the final connection, if a spark does happen it wont be near the flammable gases coming out of the battery! However doing this can cause other problems. If you connect the positive lead first, you may cause a spike to go directly to your ECU which will then blow its top and possibly other things along the way.
In all my cars and all the cars I work on for a living I always disconnect the positive first and reconnect it last. I do however make sure there is plenty of fresh air passing the engine bay clearing any gases.
