It doesn't make any difference as the sway bar carries no weight at any time; it simply acts like a torsion bar when loading is induced during a turn.

It is recommended that you wait to fully tighten the end links after the weight is on the wheels,on the ground.As a matter of fact, this applies to all suspension bushings that have been replaced or loosened. That way, the vehicle is at normal ride height when the bushing sleeve is squeezed in between its perches.
