In what order do applications in 'startup item' folder run in system 7?
I got 'FinderToFront' from sumex, and placed in the startup item folder. Its
file name has ~ for the first character so I thought it would run at the
last. But it didn't !
   I have also applicon, trash chute, darkside(trigo), alarm clock placed in
the startup item folder. Applicon placed the tiles in the following order.
  applicon, finder, (trash chute, ~FinderToFront)*, darkside(trigo) alias, 
alarm clock alias       (* they exits soon, so It may be vice versa) 

The same question goes to the running order of system extensions. Showing
order of startup icons suggests that it is not alphabetic order. In system 6, 
it was an alphabetic order.

Any idea? Thanks in advance.
