Question about warp manipulation sequence

[CaptainAL]

Can't find this one in the FAQ posts:

I have warp opener and closer ships together on sectors with 10 WPs. The needed trick is to close a warp first and then to open another in the same (first) movement turn. In past games I just gave the two types the orders and the closing order happened first, so the new warp then opened. To my horror, this did not happen in one of my present games. The warp opening ships attempted to execute their orders before the closers, so no warps opened - but warps did close exposing my system. I purposely designed my openers with one less movement point than my closers, thinking that the faster ship would execute its order before the slower one. Apparently this does not work. The only other thing I see is that my opener design name comes alphabetically before my closer name.

So my question is: do SM ship commands on day one execute in order of ship class name, for example would the order execution for ship class "A Opener" come before that of ship class "B Closer"? Can't think of what else it could be except that is just random.

Anyone know?
