In JRA-2276 it was mentioned that listeners should have an order. I have a need for this one particular part of that request. Here is my scenario:

• I have custom user fields for key people for a component (more than lead) who I want to send notifications to.
• I have a listener which populates these custom fields when the issue is added
• I have changed the notifications to include these custom fields

The problem now is that the order appears to be random so there is no guarantee that my listener goes before the mail listener.

Having the ability to order the listeners would be helpful in this and it seems like in general people may want to ensure an order and not have it random.
