Hmm, looking at my .vmx I do have an order set. Am I missing something? 
Thank you for your help, Megan.

.encoding = "UTF-8"
bios.bootorder = "hdd,cdrom"
bios.hddorder = "scsi0:0"
checkpoint.vmstate = ""
cleanshutdown = "TRUE"
config.version = "8"
cpuid.corespersocket = "2"
displayname = "VM-packer-build-centos7v2"
