I think alphabetical is the way to go here.
The goal is to show the effect of the vaccine, which isn't affected by the order (the change is pretty uniform though, maybe slightly slower in western states).
When folks interact they want to find their state. Sorting by region makes that harder.

PSA: Alphabetical order is often bad for geodata! I took the data from the WSJ article below and used a more natural geographical order; it makes it possible to see regional measles epidemics in 1935-36, the western polio outbreak, etc. Interactive notebook. observablehq.com/d/53c696e100...
