Is there a way to control the order in which files appear in a gist? They don't seem to be alphabetical or chronological. I'd like to have a README.md appear as the first file in a multi-file gist, but no amount of "deleting" a file and re-adding it seems to change anything.
Is there an order to these files that I'm not seeing, or does GitHub maintain an internal filetype priority list?

How Do I Edit or Delete a Gist? In the top right corner of your gist page, there will be a menu that allows for multiple functions to be performed on your gist. We can edit, delete, unsubscribe, star, embed, copy, share, and download a raw copy or zipped copy of a gist. We also can share a gist in multiple ways.
On GitHub itself, you cannot group your repos by "folder", unless you create organizations. See SublimeText, for instance, as a group of all sublimeText packages repos. But that won't support a nested folder organization. For now (June 2017), that only supports a nested team organization structure.
Since at least 2018, the order is alphabetical, with periods and numbers coming before letters.
That is, as mentioned in Andrew D.Bond's answer:
$. (dot)_ (underscore)Around 2013-2014 a different order was used.
