<jsSourceIncludes>
                                    <jsSourceInclude>UIApp.js</jsSourceInclude>
                                    <jsSourceInclude>UIApp.run.js</jsSourceInclude>
                                    <jsSourceInclude>UI-i18n.config.js</jsSourceInclude>
                                    <jsSourceInclude>UI-router-helper.provider.js</jsSourceInclude>
 <jsSourceInclude>aa/nnn/r.js</jsSourceInclude>
 <jsSourceInclude>aa/nnn/a.js</jsSourceInclude>
<jsSourceIncludes>
We need it should merge what order we mention in the <jsSourceInclude> but it always short by fileName

The fact that this plugin merges files in the order of file-name makes it completely unusable in modern web environment. If JS file A needs to access JS library B, it won't work, cause B comes after A.

This plugin absolutely needs a way to define the order of files.

I think that order JS files by file name suppose a big problem when merge them. The plugin should keep the original order to make it usable as @kannan08 said. Is this possible?

You should be able to use

<jsSourceFiles>
	<jsSourceFile>zzz.js</jsSourceFile>
	<jsSourceFile>aa.js</jsSourceFile>
</jsSourceFiles>

instead of jsSourceInclude. This should preserve the order.
