Hi Chris, It has been my experience of ~2.5 years that the order is maintained with a <srcFile> list, though I see nothing in the plugin docs that specifically mentions this, nor have I had the time (or inclination) to read the source... We have a relatively small number of sql files, 4 in one place, 2 in another, so it is not too bad for us to list them all by name. FWIW, we are using version 1.4 of the plugin.
