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?
You have the source code, and can figure it out as well as I can.

Dear helpers,
I have multiple vignette files for a package, and I would like to have the
"right" order of these files when displayed online. For instance, see below:
https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/bst/index.html
The order of vignette links on CRAN is different from what I hoped for:
vignette(package="bst")
Vignettes in package 'bst':
pros Cancer Classification Using Mass
Spectrometry-based Proteomics Data (source,
pdf)
static_khan Classification of Cancer Types Using Gene
Expression Data (Long) (source, pdf)
khan Classification of Cancer Types Using Gene
Expression Data (Short) (source, pdf)
static_mcl Classification of UCI Machine Learning Datasets
(Long) (source, pdf)
mcl Classification of UCI Machine Learning Datasets
(Short) (source, pdf)
The package bst already has an index.html, and I thought that should have done
the job, but apparently not. Any suggestions?
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.
