Do you have two or more packages that have 456.py?

No, but I was wondering about a scenario where two packages had the same file (in the same path of the package's directory structure), like 456.pyfor example. In other words - which package would overwrite such file belonging to another package. I checked the docs, and it turns out that by default packages are processed in alphabetical order, but we can alter this order by manually inserting process_orderkeyword in JSON files of each package:

https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/ref/plugins.html#package_order [www.sidefx.com]

So it's good to know that we have some means of resolving this kind of conflicts, which are silent, because we're not notified about which package overwrites the content from another package when it's loaded.

I think the user 456.py is overwritten by packages, then packages usually should be designed not to have 456.py.
Houdini SideFX Labs 22 initially have 456.py. It is the bug. It hasn't had it before. And doesn't have it now.

I could figure it out.
If you have a package that has 456.py, your local 456.py is ignored.

Can we control the order of loaded packages?

What do you mean?

And the latest production build of SideFX Labs have 456.py.

If you update it to the latest daily build that don't have 456.py, it works well with your 456.py.
