[James Skinner]

Just number them like so:

[james at bsdie]$ ls -l /usr/local/etc/rc.d/
total 32
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   248 Oct  6  2003 010.pkgtools.sh
-rwxr-x--x  1 root  wheel   391 Jan 28  2004 020.xinetd.sh
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  1720 May 31 10:17 030.svscan.sh
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   646 Jul  3 12:03 040.apache.sh
