There is no mechanism provided by the mergemod.dll to resequence CustomAction order. ResolveSource is one of those CustomActions that can live in many places... it sounds like the Merge Module isn't respecting that. You best bet is to not have it in the MSM at all. ResolveSource can cause some really unfortunate source prompts if not used carefully.

Is there a way to override the sequence of an item in a Merge Module when you reference it, or am I going to have to run Orca and fix it manually every time I recompile?
