Is it?  I may be misreading you - and if so I apologize
beforehand. But I mean "ascibetically" to mean the order of the
symlink names, including the "K" bit - e.g. "K02alsa-utils". Basically the order of 

	ls -1 /etc/rc6.d/*

Hm. Fair point. Unfortunately, in my experience, a hanging init script
has halted shutdown many times for me - perhaps there's a setting
