All thing being equal you want the "good" tyre on the front so I'd not swap a half worn back tyre onto the front to even out the wear, but there is in theory some merit in putting new tyre on front and old front tyre on the back.
Personally I can't be arsed
The back tyre will wear out more frequently, and at least if my esperience is anything to go by will have more punctures, so my new back tyre is a slightly tougher / heavier one in any case. But my slightly lighter and "quicker" front tyre seems to remain punctureless-ish so is fine, and will in due course be replaced like for like I expect
