cannot open fortran module in ubuntu

I am wring Fortran code in linux. My module file is in a *.f90 file. "program main" is in another *.f90 file. When I tried to compile my code in ubuntu "gfortran main.f90", errors said that can't find my module file.

program main
use module_name

Just now, I see someone say the files are compiled alphabetically. If this is the reason, then I am in big trouble. Because my program has called many subroutines and functions which are in different f90 files. So how to resolve this problem? Thanks.

Along with including the file name, use the specifier -I in gfortran to tell the compiler where to look for the file in case it can't find it. ex:
gfortran -I/path/to/module

Suppose you have a file containing the main program main.f90 and another file containing the module mod.f90. The correct way to compile and generate an executable named main will be

gfortran mod.f90 main.f90 -o main

You have not specified the module file while compiling therefore it is unable to compile
