CW> ----
CW> I gather that including 'application.js' in your template is what causes all the files in app/assets/javascripts to be loaded in alphabetic order - at least, that was my conclusion but I think
CW> that was with Rails 3.1.1 and now I am on 3.1.3 and it seems to do the same... also the css files in app/assets/stylesheets which forced me to rename my main css file to zlayout.css

CW> I rather like the ability to have snippets of javascript and css in separate files while in development mode as that allows portability but the alphabetic loading threw me for a while and I finally figured out that at least the order is predictable (which is important with css)

CW> It would seem if you want to manhandle the load order of scripts in assets then you probably should not include application.js and include those you specifically want in your layout but then you
CW> are going to have make manual adjustments when it comes to deploying (as opposed to simply executing 'bundle exec rake assets:precompile')

Thank you.

Now that I know someone else is seeing this crazy behavior, I'll dig into the code and see if I can turn it off and have it act reasonably.
