All dumps are scheduled to run once a month, some just take longer than others to run, and there are issues some time, not sure why the order really matters.
The WMF dump all of their active databases (any database that is hosting a site, regardless of the status of the site) If you want dumps/wikis removed file a request on meta for the complete shutdown of the project. Otherwise just use some common sense and ignore the inactive wikis.
