Sometimes one wants to keep control over the order in which css files are included. This is e.g. the case when you are using Zend_Layout with layout.phtml (which includes some standard files that are needed on all pages) and want to add a css file needed in a certain view. If additionally you overwrite a certain css class in your standard css file, that is used in the class you only add in your special view (e.g. a 3rd party file you don't want to change) the 3rd party css file must be included before the standard css file. I dind't find a way to keep control about the ordering of included css files (there is a getter but no setter). So this patch is what I came up with and which works fine for me. It lets you include a css file right in front of another css file if needed.
