The are run in numerical order, 1 - 99. The S prefix means it is a service (assumption). Not sure what the K prefix means other than they are setup executables which run then exit having finished their task. This is where so much of the personal configurability of Linux exists. You can chop and change these dirs to suit yourself. I have a dialup so i delete some services from here and start them from /etc/ppp/ip-up.local instead. That way they are only running when i am on the net.
