Posting twice won't get you twice the answer. Now, I originally wrote something in your other thread but the website was loading awfully slow that day and I think I didn't submit the reply.

 

If you mean the loadorder (right panel in MO) do as flutie says and use LOOT, that will sort most of the stuff in a functional way. You may need to check specific install instructions or conflicts and test things in game to tweak a loadorder until everything is smooth.

 

If you mean your modlist (left panel in MO) you need to do that manually. You can use the loadorder generated by LOOT as a guide, some people like to order both panels in a similar way (so mods whose plugin is near the top in your loadorder will also be near the top in the modlist and so on). But there is the problem that a) not every mod comes with a plugin/master file to add to your loadorder (so there is no reference for such mods) and b) there are other kind of conflicts requiring a different order (for example XPMSSE is usually placed near the bottom of a loadorder, but other mods may have a conflict with the skeletons files, and some mods must overwrite the XPMSSE skeletons, like the creature skeletons from MNC). So there are no golden rules to apply universally, no shortcuts here. You need to check each conflict (the mods with + and - signs in the Conflicts column) and see what's the best solution in each case. Keep in mind that conflicts in the left panel mean more than one mod is providing the same files and the game can only use one. Mods at the bottom of the modlist will overwrite the ones at the top, so if you want to use the files from one mod make sure it's placed below other mods conflicting with it.
