# MO2 Load Order - LOGICAL READING ORDER # ======================================== # This file presents the SAME load order as _LOAD_ORDER.txt, but REVERSED # for natural reading: #1 = loads FIRST, #104 = loads LAST (wins conflicts) # # Read this top-to-bottom to understand load sequence and conflict resolution. # Group headings show major organizational phases. # # (The original file reads BOTTOM-TO-TOP because MO2's plugin list reads that way. # This file reverses it for human sanity.
