INTRODUCTION

Allow prioritization of the Drupal's hooks. Set weight for each hook in Drupal
is not so trivial as in other CMSs so, this plugin attempt to fix this.

FEATURES

• Set weight for hook
• Set weigth for hook auto and attached before/after other module
• Set hook be to beginning or ending in the stack

EXAMPLES

Hooks are performed by a weight in ascending order.
Set function can be called without be in hook.

/**
 * Implements hook_init().
 */
function mymodule_init() {
  // do something.
}

// Set hook be performed in order where default weight is 0
hook_priority_set('mymodule_init', 100);


/**
 * Implements hook_domain_delete().
 */
function mymodule_domain_delete() {
  // do something.
}

// Set hook to be performed after the hook from module 'domain_conf'
hook_priority_set_after('mymodule_domain_delete', 'domain_conf');

Overview:

// Set pririty/weight for a hook to specific number.
hook_priority_set(string <hookname>, int <weight>);

// Move hook to be performed as first.
hook_priority_set_first(string <hookname>);

// Move hook to be performed as last.
hook_priority_set_last(string <hookname>);

// Move hook to be performed before hook from other module.
hook_priority_set_before(string <hookname>, string <module>);

// Move hook to be performed after hook from other module.
hook_priority_set_after(string <hookname>, string <module>);
