Does the order of files matter in Package Studio?

For Android+ I have setup a package that has files that need to be in place before APKs are installed.  Does the order of files listed in Package Studio matter?  Is the order an install order?  I can't seem to reorder so do I need to delete everything and make sure my file copies are at the top of the list?  Yes I do sometimes get an error that the file is not in place (but not always).

What you can do is to create two packages.

1. Create the package that contains the files and where they should be placed on the device itself

2. Create the package/-s that contains APKs

When creating the profile to distribute these uploaded packages. Just make sure to select both packages in that profile, set the order as you wish and you can also "Define Package Dependencies" for the #1 package

The Package Dependency concept is a decent approach to solving this problem. Just watch out for scenarios where you change, replace, or remove that Package in the future as that will also break the dependency and can have a chain reaction where the dependent Package also gets removed since the dependency is no longer met. All of this is to say it can work, but Package Dependency usage can be precarious if you are not thoughtful with it.
