Because of this, there is financial advice to pay back the smallest loan first and work your way up to the bigger ones. It doesn't make any sense financially, but helps with motivation.

Doesn't it make sense to pay back the loan with the highest interest first, regardless of total debt amount?

Yes, but many people need a small quick win first or they give up completely.
