How to reverse angular script order injection with gulp?

Question

I have the following scripts on my angular page when I build using gulp watch-dev (gulpfile.js is at the end of the question in the snippet).

<!-- inject:js -->
  <script src="shared/toolbar/toolbarDirective.js"></script>
  <script src="shared/sidebar/sidebarDirective.js"></script>
  <script src="shared/sidebar/sidbarController.js"></script>
  <script src="components/home/homeService.js"></script>
  <script src="components/blog/blogService.js"></script>
  <script src="components/blog/blogController.js"></script>
  <script src="app.modules.js"></script>
  <script src="app.routes.js"></script>
<!-- endinject -->

I want to get app.modules.js on top of others scripts. How can I do this ?

this is the files structure :

app
|
|--shared
|  |--sidebar
|  |  |--sidebarController.js
|  |  |--sidebarDirective.js
|  |  |--sidebarTemplate.html
|  |
|  |--toolbar
|     |--toolDirective.js
|     |--toolbarTemplate.html
|
|--components
|  |--home
|  |  |--sidebarDirective.js
|  |  |--homeView.html
|  |
|  |--blog
|     |--sidebarDirective.js
|     |--blogView.html
|
|--app.modules.js
|--app.routes.js
|--index.html

This where I think things fails :

pipes.orderedAppScripts = function() {
  return plugins.angularFilesort();
};

pipes.builtIndexDev = function() {

// sends verified vendor js in dev folder and catch a pipe ordered
var orderedVendorScripts = pipes.builtVendorScriptsDev()
    .pipe(pipes.orderedVendorScripts());

// sends verified app js in dev folder and catch a pipe ordered
var orderedAppScripts = pipes.builtAppScriptsDev()
    .pipe(pipes.orderedAppScripts());

var appStyles = pipes.builtStylesDev();

return pipes.validatedIndex()
    .pipe(gulp.dest(paths.distDev)) // write first to get relative path for inject
    .pipe(plugins.inject(orderedVendorScripts, {relative: true, name: 'bower'}))
    .pipe(plugins.inject(orderedAppScripts, {relative: true}))
    .pipe(plugins.inject(appStyles, {relative: true}))
    .pipe(gulp.dest(paths.distDev));
 };

buildIndexDev is called in watch-dev to build index.html for development environment. Here is my gulpfile.js in the snippet:

<script src="https://gist.github.com/aemb/43ca3dbc7056157f952d.js"></script>

@HenryZou , doing this have some side effects:

   pipes.orderedAppScripts = function() {
     return gulp.src([
       './**/*.modules.js',
       './**/*.js',
     ]).pipe(plugins.angularFilesort());
   };

Weird thing here :

  <!-- inject:js -->
  <script src="shared/toolbar/toolbarDirective.js"></script>
  <script src="../distDev/gulpfile.js"></script>
  <script src="../distDev/distDev/app.modules.js"></script>
  <script src="../distDev/app.routes.js"></script>
  <script src="shared/sidebar/sidebarDirective.js"></script>
  <script src="../devServer/routes.js"></script>
  <script src="shared/sidebar/sidebarController.js"></script>
  <script src="../app/app.routes.js"></script>
  <script src="../server.js"></script>
  <script src="components/home/homeService.js"></script>
  <script src="../gulpfile.js"></script>
  <script src="components/blog/blogService.js"></script>
  <script src="components/blog/blogController.js"></script>
  <script src="app.routes.js"></script>
  <script src="app.modules.js"></script>
  <script src="../distDev/app/app.modules.js"></script>
  <script src="../distDev/app.modules.js"></script>
  <script src="../app/app.modules.js"></script>
  <!-- endinject -->

All those starting with ../ don't exist in the folder. Others exist but they are still in bad order.

In your gulp build script where you are globbing the files, specify your *.module.js prior to other *.js files.

   gulp.src([
        '/**/*.modules.js',
        '/**/*.js',
        ]).pipe(ngFilesort()),
