Module Order

Module order provides a way for a module to specify whether it should be loaded before or after another module.

To use the module you simply add a "before" or "after" key to your .info file like so:

name = "My Awesome Module"
core = 6.x
before = less_awesome
after = pretty_awesome

The original idea for this module was described to me by David Strauss at DrupalCamp Austin.
