Re: [development] order in which regions are rendered

[Aaron Winborn]

Considering that normally in Drupal, blocks may not be placed through standard administration into multiple regions, I assume you're directly embedding a block into the page content with PHP. Assuming you're embedding it directly, I believe that page content will be built before the blocks are. Depending on what you're trying to do, you might have more luck simply using CSS selectors like #main-content .block-module-delta. If you truly need a unique ID numbered by region (perhaps for JS?) your easiest route may be to simply assume that the body will be numbered higher than the other regions for the aforementioned reason.
