Within R these are determined by \VignetteIndexEntry{}. I think you are
referring to the order on the CRAN landing page for your package
https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/bst/index.html, and then the question
is for a CRAN member.
In Rnw
\documentclass{article}
% \VignetteIndexEntry{01-Foo}
\begin{document}
01-Foo
\end{document}
or Rmd as
---
title: "Demo"
author: Ima Scientist <i...@scientist.org>
vignette: >
% \VignetteIndexEntry{01-Foo}
% \VignetteEngine{knitr::rmarkdown}
---

I think the online order of vignette files are not based on vignette title or
filename alphabetically. I am just curious: by what order these vignette files
were displayed online so I can make changes accordingly?
Thanks,
Zhu

The index.html file should be used in the online help system, but
vignette() doesn't use that, it looks in the internal database of vignettes. I
don't think you can control the order in which it displays things.
This could conceivably be changed, but not by consulting your index.html file
--- it is not required to follow a particular structure, so we can't find what
order you want from it. One more likely possibility would be to sort
alphabetically in the current locale according to filename or vignette title.
So then you could get what you want by naming your vignettes 1pros,
2static_khan, etc.
It would also be possible to add a new \VignetteXXXX directive so affect
collation order, but that seems like overkill.
