You cannot do this with fdupes. But you can use fdupes to find the dupes and remove the first one yourself like this:
fdupes -rn .|awk 'BEGIN{first=1} (first){print;first=0} /^$/{first=1}'
This will print out all the first files found by fdupes, which you then can delete with:
command | while read file
do
rm "$file"
done
Not tested, watch out!

Use rmlint; it has heaps of options for deciding which file to delete.

You can reverse the order in which the files are displayed with the -i option.
From the man page:
-o --order=WORD
order files according to WORD: time - sort by mtime, name - sort by filename
-i --reverse
reverse order while sorting
So for you
fdupes -N -i -r .
should work.
