How to change the order of task/rules correctly?

I tried to add additional artifacts to a publication and I used the model space to solve my issue.

Therefore I added a static class to my plugin:

    static class Rules extends RuleSource {
        @Mutate
        public static void configurePublishingPublications(ModelMap<Task> tasks, final PublishingExtension publishing, FileCollection files) {
               IvyPublication ivyPub = publications.create("myPub", IvyPublication.class, ivyPublication -> {
                    for(ZipComponent task : tasks.withType(ZipComponent.class).values()) {
                        ivyPublication.artifact(task, ivyArtifact -> {
                           // configuration
                        }
                    }
               });
        }
    }

If I run a test, it seems that the publishing has no input and my tasks artifacts are ignored. I checked the model:

    + tasks
      | Type:   	org.gradle.model.ModelMap<org.gradle.api.Task>
      | Creator: 	Project.<init>.tasks()
      | Rules:
         ⤷ PublishingPlugin.Rules#tasksDependOnProjectPublicationRegistry(ModelMap<Task>, ProjectPublicationRegistry)
         ⤷ IvyPublishPlugin.Rules#createTasks(ModelMap<Task>, PublishingExtension, File)
         ⤷ CartridgePlugin.Rules#configurePublishingPublications(ModelMap<Task>, PublishingExtension, FileCollection)

I tried to change the order of rules. TherforeI changed the order of parameters for the method configurePublishingPublications and I got an exception.

After that I change Mutate to Defaults und now it works!

    + tasks
      | Type:   	org.gradle.model.ModelMap<org.gradle.api.Task>
      | Creator: 	Project.<init>.tasks()
      | Rules:
         ⤷ CartridgePlugin.Rules#configurePublishingPublications(ModelMap<Task>, PublishingExtension, FileCollection)
         ⤷ PublishingPlugin.Rules#tasksDependOnProjectPublicationRegistry(ModelMap<Task>, ProjectPublicationRegistry)
         ⤷ IvyPublishPlugin.Rules#createTasks(ModelMap<Task>, PublishingExtension, File)

But is this the correct way?
