No.  It's the order in which files appear in the directory.  The
directory consists of a series of "slots" which are filled in order as
files are written.  However, slots are reused when files are deleted,
so a newly-written file can end up ahead of an older file.  The
easiest way to be sure of the order is to delete everything in \AUTO
and then copy the files back one at a time in the order you want them
to run.
