The only order that is necessary is one that satisfies the dependency
chain. It's a simple digraph which will often come out in a different
sequence, the only requirement that needs to be satisfied is the
dependency ordering not the overall order.

Nope. I think you need a different tool than the reactor if you don't
need the dependency ordering.

We could certainly make a abstract tool with a pluggable strategies for
ordering. The dependency ordering strategy would be what we need to the
reactor but then you could also enforce whatever ordering you wanted. I
only ever thought about dependency ordering myself.

What's your use case if I may ask?
