The scripts are run in lexical order, so use the "standard" number 
prefix scheme 100. 200. (see for example /etc/periodic/daily).

At some point in the future, the /usr/local/etc/rc.d scripts will 
support the same rcorder conifguration options as /etc/rc.d.  See man rc 
and rcorder, and freebsd-rc archives for more info.
