I think you MIGHT tell the order of installations from customquery
listpatches: from the faq:

"If you are running OSR5.0.0 with the rs500d release supplement applied,
or OSR5.0.2 or later, there is a command-line method, customquery
listpatches, which will list what patches have been applied. This option
to customquery did not exist prior to rs500d; if you do not have rs500d
applied to your system, you should." 

If that isn't true, "custom -G last" will list the last product
installed, "custom -g 8" will list the 8th, etc. and you can certainly
find out that way.

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
