grunt-dependency-sort orders files in a path and replaces the minimatch path with an array of resolved file paths.

Example

concat: {
dist: {
src : '<%= meta.folders.js %>*/.js',
depsort : 'src',
dest : '<%= meta.folders.js %>page.js'
}
},

...

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-dependency-sort');

grunt.registerTask('default', ['depsort','concat']);

Run depsort before all other tasks.

Dependencies need to be defined in an _dependencies.json in base directory of current path.
(e.g. in <%= meta.folders.js %>)
