Well, not really. It's well known that the OED does not reflect common usage in this area. -ize is listed first even though most people writing British English use -ise these days. -ize is a valid variant (and is seen often in print, although it often strikes people as an Americanism) but has been in decline over the years at the expense of -ise. The OED is being conservative on this point. It's only to be expected that British and American orthography will diverge over time.
