Out of order Masters

Post » Sun Dec 14, 2014 5:07 pm

I've been working on building my load order and doing a lot of testing. From what I've heard out of order Masters is not a big deal most of the time. From my understanding this happens when an esp is created with an authors load order, then when the user installs the esp with load order that differs then from what the esp was created from.

When running dynamic patches there picking up some ESP files that have out of order Masters. Consequently it causes a dynamic patch to have out of order Masters.

For instance Masters ported by SleepingDangers-SandsofTime.esp In the window on the lower right side of Wrye Bash

01 Dawnguard.esm
02 Dragonborn.esm

03 SleepingDangers-SandsofTime.esp

04 Unofficial Skyrim Patch.esp [Version 2.0.8a]

05 PerkusMaximus_Master.esp

Masters reported by Wrye Bash list Masters function for SOTxPerMa.esp:

The second list is what I would expect. But when I run run dynamic like PerkusMaximus_Master it carries over out of order Masters.

First why discrepancy between what the ESP reports and Wrye Bash list Masters function?

Are Out of order Masters problematic for dynamic patches?

By chance is there in TES5Edit script to fix out of order Masters for those that are zealous about a clean load order?
