By default Jqeury Core file need to be loaded before any other Jqeury Plugin JS. (Unless modifiy the plugin to 'no conflict').

Now the problem is no matter if we inject the js from skin or add the js from the dnn page setting, the DNN Jquery core file is always loaded at the last!

Thus, we have no choice but the load the js directly in module or skin. This is slowing down the DNN performance a lot especially in page rendering and modules from different developers always conflict with each others if there are same JS being used. (JS should be loaded in page header!)

If the can put them all in page header, at least we can filter out the same script using other module like PageBlaster...

Hope this will bring attention to DNN core team members...

Have encountered this problem .. verified it has a ticket in Gemini (support.dotnetnuke.com)
