Plugin execution order

[newsjunkie]

If I have two plugins that both use HOOK_ARTICLE_FILTER, is there anyway to specify the execution order? For example, if I want to use af_Readability to first get full article content, then have a second plugin run analysis on that retrieved full content?

Thanks

System plugins (defined in config.php) are hooked in the order they're declared (first in, first out).

User plugins (checked in the Preferences/Plugins) I'm not sure about, but I think they're run in the order they're listed so if you rename a plugin to appear alphabetically before/after another one, that should do the trick.

I've gotten in the habit of prefixing all my custom plugins with "z_" and putting them in config.php in the order I want. This way I know they'll fire in the order I want, can easily pick them out of the list, and if I do ever need to create a non-system one, it shows up at the end of the plugin list.

Thanks for the great reply - just tested and you're right: user plugins execute in alphabetical order. The z_ is a good idea to force that ordering.

Cheers
