What is the calculation order of calculated fields?

What is the calculation order when Changepoint updates calculated fields (UDF)? What happens if a calculated field A refers to a calculated field B, will this be resolved properly so that Changepoint first calculates B and then A?

Fields are calculated in alphabetical order. As the numbers have typically 3 digits (like in 'ProjectText510'), this means that fields with a lower number are calculated first.

Example: ProjectText580 and ProjectText505 are both calculated fields. During recalculation ProjectText505 will be handled first and ProjectText580 later. So the formula for ProjectText580 can refer to ProjectText505, but not the other way round.
