It should be fine. This is how I categorize it:
Horizontal Pulling Day - Rows, etc.
Vertical Pulling Day - Chins, Pullups, etc.

probably nothing wrong with it at all
the way I have mine split I do legs/back/biceps together.....on one of those days I do squats (no deads)..on the next one I did deads (no squats). To me it is hard to do bent rows after deads...so on days I do deads it would be pretty natural to do mostly pulldown type moves.....then on days I squat id do the rowing type back moves

If you decide to split the days up, I would recommend doing your horizontal pulls (rows) earlier in the week. Most programs are horizontal push (bench) dominant so this can help prevent any muscle imbalances.

that's more or less how I do, I think it would be fine to focus one day horizontal and then one day vertical.

Great info here, this is the most neglected movement (plane of motion) it seems. It should be done when fresh to see immediate gains.

If you are going to prioritze back I would have a thickness and width day. Here are some exercise ideas.
Thickness:
Deadlifts
Row variations
Width:
Pull Up Variations
Pull Over Variations
Some people also split between lower and upper back splits too. I don't like these because IMO you should be training upper back (ie traps) on shoulder day.
