-R preserves the order in which items appear in your update
-U does not

_however_

IIRC, the current method of sending the changes to the other nodes is
not capable of preserving the order :-(

so you'd want to run it on the DC and then use -S which will do a full
replace (thus making sure all nodes have the new ordering)

see above, "sort of"

if all resources were running
and the only that changed was the order (no attributes added/removed)

then i'd not expect that the resources would be restarted
