I would imagine that if it were possible, it would work like the InstallExecuteSequence for MSI's. Lets call it UninstallExecuteSequence, and you would just say <PackageId='MSI1' Before='MSI2'>. Then everything else you add or remove would go in the default order.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Uninstall Order [P] It would be interesting, but I'm struggling to imagine out how the syntax would work in your .wxs code if you were able to override this behaviour. You could have two integer attributes on each package (one for install order and one for uninstall order) but I bet that would be hard to maintain if you, say, inject a new install into the sequence, and what would be the behaviour if you specify one and not the other? In the stated use case, I would say that adding a ServiceControl record to the SQL MSI (to stop the service when this MSI is removed) is the easiest way to handle this.
