Slipstream deployment scenario: How installer determines the order of the patches need to apply?

Hi,

I understand that I need to extract CUs and patches in <install_media>\Updates in order to slipstream them during the installation.

I can’t find any documentation that explains how Installer determines the order of the patches. Some of the patches need to apply before the others.

Any link to TechNet documentation would be a great help.

Thank you,
