Cutting inside out vs outside in?

I was cutting out a part from 1/4" MDF and didn't set any supports in Meshcam as I thought they wouldn't have been needed, but found out the program created the tool path cutting the largest features first, which was a circular perimeter around the part, and then moved to the smaller inner features.

A. Why would the program work from the outside in, forcing you to add support features that otherwise would not be needed and slowing down cutting?

B. Is there a setting that flips this, so it will cut any interior features first and then cuts the features that will remove the part from the rest of the stock?
