How OpenERP decides loading order of modules ?

Question

We can found in sale/sale.py the definition of sale_order . Also in sale_layout/sale_layout.py we found a modification of the same entity and the entity get here registred with:
sale_order()
I suppose the sale_layout must be loaded after sale to apply sale_layout's changes to the entity.
But how is this controlled by the module loading ? Is there a way to force the loading order ?

look at the __openerp__.py file in each module. The key 'depends' defines the module to be loaded before the one you are looking at.

Look in the __openerp__.py file

you make a module dependent on another module, and then your module will not be loaded until after all the modules your module depends on has been loaded.
