I'm trying out the [MVC4 System.Web.Optimization 1.0 ScriptBundle feature](http://www.asp.net/mvc/tutorials/mvc-4/bundling-and-minification). 

I have the following configuration:

```
public class BundleConfig
{
    public static void RegisterBundles(BundleCollection bundles)
    {
        // shared scripts
        Bundle canvasScripts =
            new ScriptBundle(BundlePaths.CanvasScripts)
                .Include("~/Scripts/modernizr-*")
                .Include("~/Scripts/json2.js")
                .Include("~/Scripts/columnizer.js")
                .Include("~/Scripts/jquery.ui.message.min.js")
                .Include("~/Scripts/Shared/achievements.js")
                .Include("~/Scripts/Shared/canvas.js");
        bundles.Add(canvasScripts);
    }
}

```

and the following view:

```
<script type="text/javascript" src="@Scripts.Url(BundlePaths.CanvasScripts)"></script>

```

where `BundlePaths.CanvasScripts` is `"~/bundles/scripts/canvas"`. It renders this:

```
<script type="text/javascript" src="/bundles/scripts/canvas?v=UTH3XqH0UXWjJzi-gtX03eU183BJNpFNg8anioG14_41"></script>

```

So far so good, except `~/Scripts/Shared/achievements.js` is the first script in the bundled source. It depends on every script included before it in the `ScriptBundle`. **How can I ensure that it honors the order in which I add include statements to the bundle?**

**Update**

This was a relatively new ASP.NET MVC 4 application, but it was referencing the optimization framework pre release package. I removed it and added the RTM package from <http://nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.AspNet.Web.Optimization>. With the RTM version with debug=true in web.config, `@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/scripts/canvas")` renders the individual script tags in the correct order. 

With debug=false in web.config, the combined script has the achievements.js script first, but since its a function definition (object constructor) that's called later, it runs without error. Perhaps the minifier is smart enough to figure out dependencies?

I also tried the `IBundleOrderer` implementation that Darin Dimitrov suggested with RTM with both debug options and it behaved the same.

So the minified version is not in the order I expect, but it works.
