Running seed files in particular order
See original GitHub issueI have a few seed files with inter dependencies. What are the best practices to make seed files run in a specific order, so I don’t get errors about failed foreign key constraints? Should I prefix them with numbers, i.e. 01_, 02_… or is there a better way? Thank you.

Array.prototype.sortso you can rely on alphabetical order. Your other option is to run seeds that have dependencies in a single file so you have full control over the control flow. Keep in mind that you can alwaysrequirestuff from another folder (including json) to keep organized.
