That actually seems like a rather screwy thing to be doing in the first
place. :-) Perhaps you can explain what you're trying to accomplish and
we could figure out a better approach? IME, if you care about the order
that blocks are rendered in, or in which region they appear, more often
than not you have a design flaw somewhere in your logic.

Thanks for the replies. You're right, the regions do render as declared
inside the .info file, but knowing that still doesn't solve the issue.
For example, some regions are added through preprocess
(theme_preprocess_node) which are rendered on node pages before the rest
of the regions. Anything inside the node.tpl.php is also rendered before
all other regions. So you still can't guarantee that one region is
rendered before another. What I need is to generate javascript inside
blocks according to their placement on the page. What I tried was
placing a static variable inside hook_block on $op = view and
incrementing that, but as I showed, this didn't solve the problem
because you can't be sure what regions will be rendered in what order.
The only way I see it is to somehow modify the fully rendered page HTML
before it's sent to the browser using regular expressions. Is there a
way to do that? And if doable, how costly in performance would it be?
