We investigate the impact of using high-order numerical methods to study the merger of magnetised neutron stars with finite-temperature microphysics and neutrino cooling in full general relativity. By implementing a fourth-order accurate conservative finite-difference scheme we model the inspiral together with the early post-merger and highlight the differences to traditional second-order approaches at the various stages of the simulation. We find that even for finite-temperature equations of state, convergence orders higher than second order can be achieved in the inspiral and post-merger for the gravitational-wave phase. We further demonstrate that the second-order scheme overestimates the amount of proton-rich shock-heated ejecta, which can have an impact on the modelling of the dynamical part of the kilonova emission. Finally, we show that already at low resolution the growth rate of the magnetic energy is consistently resolved by using a fourth-order scheme.
