## Application ordering

The suggested algorithm for listing the applications associated to a given mimetype is:

- add any "Default Applications" and then "Added Associations" in the first mimeapps.list

- make a blacklist with the "Removed Associations" in the first mimeapps.list

- add any "Default Applications" and then the "Added Associations" in the second mimeapps.list, except those in the current blacklist

- append to the blacklist the "Removed Associations" in the second mimeapps.list

- repeat the last two steps for all subsequent mimeapps.list files

- finish by adding the mimetypes listed in the .desktop file, except those in the blacklist
