This is one of the reasons why programs should not be designed to assume they know better than the end user. They may provide defaults if appropriate, but should not try to override the user's settings. In the case that some program wants to first/last receive a notification, one way to do is to perhaps put them into three phases, being first, middle, last. The end user can then configure the relative order within each phase (and move them into other phases if desired).
