If you have two EMS programs with the same calling point, with the second program dependent on the first program, you would like the IDF to preserve the order of the programs based on the order the objects were added to the model so that EnergyPlus will process the programs in the correct order. But it appears that OpenStudio automatically FTs the programs based on alphabetical order, which can result in the programs being processed by EnergyPlus out of order. This can result in errors or unexpected results.
As a workaround, the user can name the programs in such a way that they end up ordered correctly, but that is not a great solution.
