Plugins are loaded in the order they appear in the file system (if you want to enforce a certain loading order, you can manually number them…). If you need to load an extension after all plugins have been loaded, you can use the syste.loadPlugins:after hook.

> **[system.loadPlugins:after](https://getkirby.com/docs/reference/plugins/hooks/system-loadplugins-after)**
>
> Reference page for the hook system.loadPlugins:after

Snippets in the snippets folder with the same name as plugin snippets overwrite plugin snippets.

Ah okey i see.  
so doing smth like this in the index.php of the plugin, will tell kirby, to load this after all plugins have been loaded?

```auto
Kirby::plugin('khepri-design/custom-extension', [
  'hooks' => [
    'system.loadPlugins:after' => function () {
      kirby()->plugin('khepri-design/custom-extension');
    }
  ]
. . .

```
