If I am allowed to add my .02 in this thread, the proper way to deal with this issue is not by simply commenting out whatever sorting reltool may be using or by honoring agreements of two people that may or may not remember them ten years down the road, but by extending the 'rel' config files with a way to specify application dependencies (if there are any) and taking them into account.<span><font color="#888888"><br>
