The order of the rpms is not relevant. And the difference between:

# rpm -Uhv *.rpm

and:

# rpm -Uhv a.rpm b.rpm

is that you don't install everything under the sun that just happens to be 
in the current directory. Anyway, my point was that listing all of the rpms 
on the command-line does in fact solve the problem you mentioned.
