  • The order of the official addons (to each other) doesn't matter
  • Official addons (or things like OMC, UMOPP, MOP) should be after Patch for Purists (or the Morrowind Patch Project, not that anyone should be using it)

Just noting for later

@Tyler799 Are these plugins loaded before everything else? Or it doesn't really matter?

LOOT will automatically place ESM plugins before non ESM plugins.

The right side is manual placement, and the left is the order when LOOT first loads up.

Doesn't matter most of the time. For safety, I'd do Morrowind -> DLCs -> Patch for Purists -> Official addons.

Theoretically the addon placement doesn't really matter much at all in the load order, but there are a couple nagging cases where mods depend on the official addons like how TR_Preview.esp needs to load after firemoth.

So I think it's best to put them early.

Since the official mods are official Bethesda content, I'd agree that they should load early, and @Tyler799 's suggestion seems fine for me.

If the order of them amongst each other doesn't matter much, maybe order them in the order they were published? Do we know in which order they got released?
