When there are events that run every day, what determines the order in which they are run?

For example, I want to make several events.

One that sets a custom global variable to 0.

Several other events that increment this variable. (It must be several events, since they each involve reading a variable associated with a particular country)

And finally, an event that does something based on the amount the custom global variable has been incremented.

But I can't figure out how to make sure the last, checking event runs after the incrementing events. It always seems to read the variable as 0.

I have tried ordering them in the events file, and setting them in alphabetical order. Neither helps.

Anyone know how this works?
