I have a multi project build.

I use idea plugin.

The issue I hit is that the generated Idea project does not preserve library order.

I have many modules/jars. I need two of them to be in an exact order This is an excerpt of build.gradle

compile project(’:lib-sym-untrusted’)

compile project(’:lib-sym-trusted’)

Unluckily the generated Idea project have these dependencies with a wrong order: module lib-sym-trusted module lib-sym-untrusted

So I have to change the module order manually in Idea.

I’ve tried with gradle 1.10 and 1.8 both with the same unlucky result.

Is there a way to change the order of the two evil library?

thank you for your help. 🙂 Simone
