Bashed then Merged?

[c0c0c0]

I see that the F&L guide says that the Bashed Patch comes before the Merged Patch.  That's the opposite of everything I've ever read elsewhere, although that was admittedly about Skyrim.  But it's also not how I understand the patches should work, since it should be important to determine how conflicts are resolved prior to creating the leveled lists resulting from those resolutions.  No?  Is FNV different from Skyrim in this regard?

Completely depends on what the merged patch changes. The Bashed Patch merged some weapon records in a way I didn't like, so I put it after the Bashed Patch instead.

Haven't got that far yet but I'm curious - does LOOT leave that ordering alone or do you have to create a rule?

Create a rule, or untick the merged patch in MO's left pane before you sort. Was busy over the weekend, sorry.
