I didn't get an answer to my question. I know that mods can be moved around. But I asked a straightforward, simple question - what is the priority of the mods, do the ones at the top or the ones at the bottom take priority?
About the table, your words contradict the words above, but I leave hope that starfuryzeta is right and I can get achievements when using mods using his advice.
For the first point, that is the order the files are loaded, but it won't skip a file that has already been loaded. So If the first mod in the list modifies, say, the file where default civics are, and another mod further down the list ALSO modifies that file, then only the civics from the latter mod will be present in game. Modders, for the most part, strive to avoid altering vanilla files wherever possible, so this should only really come into play if you are trying to make multiple big overhauls work together.
tl;dr put the mods you want to take priority at the bottom of the load order
As for the second part, you can indeed get achievements with mods if you use the extension. Presumably the other person who replied to you was referring to the fact that the main table lacks this function? I'm not sure.
