Sorry for the late reply, but I've been out on a long (needed) vacation.
Can you elaborate on why you think this is needed? From my perspective,
there are generally two phases:
1. Prep the app to receive inbound work.
2. Start delivering work
The only reason to have a container start order is if there's something
very funny about the Prep the app to receive inbound work phase that is
causing dependencies across containers and the containers are not smart
enough to sync up appropriately.
