Sorry, I have to disagree. Main pot is always last to be resolved. In fact, side pots are resolved in the reverse order they were created. So if you had:
 
Main pot: 4 players
Side pot 1: 3 players
Side pot 2: 2 players
 
Then side pot 2 would be resolved first followed by side pot 1 followed finally by the main pot. And the online sites do it this way as well.

And it isn't about when a player was eliminated in the hand. The person that started the hand (at any table in the tournament even) with the most chips gets the higher finish. And it makes sense to do it that way as well. The shorter stack can never eliminate the larger stack on a single hand, so in the case where both short and middle are removed at the same time the extra credit is given to the middle stack that was eliminated by a larger stack but would never have been eliminated by the shorter stack.
 
In fact, this rule isn't just about sidepots either. This is also why they have hand-for-hand play on the bubble. When you're on the bubble playing hand-for-hand and one person is eliminated at each of three different tables to bust the bubble, of those three the one that started with the fewest chips will be the bubble boy and the other two will cash.
