According to the Java beans specification, from which EventListeners
are derived, you can't.  An implementation other than Sun's is free to
fire listeners in any order whatsoever.

Pragmatically speaking, I know that a lot of implementations of event
broadcasting traverse the list in reverse order.  If you didn't care
about the specification, and only cared about this particular VM, you
could probably rely on that, as it hasn't changed in years.

Best,
Laird
