In which order does Wordpress execute plugins?

What intelligence does WordPress use to register & execute plugins?

I currently have a plugin that is dependent on another plugin, as it uses hooks defined there, so does the ordering of these plugins matter?

Wordpress executes it's plugins based on the order specified in the database.

However, wordpress will usually handle the loading of plugins in a safe manner as their are guidelines for wordpress developers to build plugins. Though these guidelines are not always followed, most if not all major / popular wordpress plugins are built according to these standards.

If a specific plugin requires another plugin, the required file(s) will be loaded accordingly in order to accommodate the requesting plugin.
