[development] order in which regions are rendered

[Adam Gregory]

Well there is a lot you can do to do that. You'll have to override
theme_blocks though most likely. The block it self is built in the
block_list function that is called from theme_blocks. Unfortunately the
hook_block does not pass the region to the block when rendering it, but as I
said if you override theme_blocks you will be able to grab the blocks after
they are compiled but before they are rendered and add whatever you need to
add after checking $block->module and $block->delta based on $block->region.

Check it out and you'll get a better idea.
