No:

for example

$\begin{pmatrix} 3 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 4 & 3 \\ 1 & 3 & 5 \end{pmatrix}$

has an inverse where the diagonal elements are not in order

$\begin{pmatrix} \;\;\frac{11}{30} & -\frac1{15} & -\frac{1}{30}\\ -\frac1{15} & \;\;\frac{14}{30} & -\frac4{15} \\ -\frac{1}{30} & -\frac4{15} & \;\;\frac{11}{30} \end{pmatrix}$
