The dependency sorting is actually easy. you just make two arrays one containing the currently enabled daemons and another containing all daemons archlinux ships with correct order. Then parse array 2 for things that are also in array 1, and place those items in array 3. Array 2 is sorted by definition so array 3 is now sorted as well. Now empty the daemons array and refill it with the contents of array 3. But as you mentioned, we don't have daemon dependencies so this won't be of use.
