According to my reading of :help load-plugins the plugins should be loaded following the runtimepath ordering. That is: first load all the plugins in the first component of runtimepath, then all the plugins in the second component and so on.
According to my experiments however this is not the case. It looks like all the plugins from all the components of the runtimepath are loaded in alphabetic order. For example, I have the following runtimepath: runtimepath=~/.vim,/var/lib/vim/addons,/usr/share/vim/addons,/usr/share/vim/vimfiles,/usr/share/vim/vim70,/usr/share/vim/vimfiles/after,/usr/share/vim/addons/after,/var/lib/vim/addons/after,~/.vim/after with matchit.vim installed (i.e. symlinked) under /usr/share/vim/addons/plugin/. If I add the following plugin to my ~/.vim: $ cat .vim/plugin/no-matchit.vim let loaded_matchit = 1 matchit is still loaded and works properly (note that no-matchit > matchit in alphabetic order). However if I move it as follows: $ mv .vim/plugin/no-matchit.vim .vim/plugin/lo-matchit.vim matchit is prevented to be loaded. Is this a bug or a underspecification in the vim docs?
