Define execution order for same script on multiple gameobjects

I have the same scrolling script attached to multiple game objects. But I want them executed in sequence. At present they were executing, I can say randomly so they aren't able to achieve synchronisation with each other in order.

So I want them executed based on each gameobject's order rather then each one randomly selected.

You can define your own UpdateManually method and call it in the appropriate order yourself. For example:

public class ScrollScriptUpdater : MonoBehaviour
{
    // set references according to desired update order
    // this can be done in the editor or via script if appropriate
    public List<ScrollScript> ScrollScripts;

    void Update ()
    {
        // this updates in the natural order of the list,
        // list item 0, 1, 2, ...
        foreach (var script in ScrollScripts)
        {
            script.UpdateManually();
        }
    }
}

public class ScrollScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    public void UpdateManually()
    {
        // do stuff
    }
}
