I wrote my book out of order only in so far as I wrote all the sections from the one POV character first, then the second POV character, and so on. Every so often I had to stop and switch to another POV character just to establish plot developments before switching back. The benefit of this what that I was "inside the head" of each POV character for a longer time, and got to know each of them that much better.
I'd have found it too confusing to switch back and forth all the time.
