Output order CSS reversed since Hugo v0.123.0

[dynabler]

Describe the bug The CSS output is reversed with Hugo v0.123.0 and above. PaperMod partials/head.html has the correct order, but somehow Hugo 0.123.0 reverses the order and makes core.css come AFTER extended.css, which makes extended.css redundant.

• Device/Os: [Windows 11]
• Type: [Desktop]
• Browser and version [Chrome 121]:
• Hugo Version v0.123.0 and v0.123.1
• Theme Version PaperMod 7.0

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Download & Install Hugo v0.123.0 or v0.123.1
2. Run hugo server to run or hugo in terminal to build hugo site
3. Open in browser localhost:1313/assets/css/stylesheet.css or public/style.css in text-editor
4. Notice extended.css comes BEFORE core.css
5. Download & install Hugo v1.222.0
6. Repeat steps 2-4
7. compare the style.css and notice the correct output as coded in partial/head.html with Hugo v0.122.0, but NOT with Hugo v0.123 and v0.123.1

Expected behavior: I expected extended.css to come after core.css. Papermod partials/head.html is correct, nothing wrong there. But the output is reversed, e.g. extended.css comes before core.css

NOTE: if this could be solved for now, great. If it's a Hugo bug, could you file a bug report? I have no experience with software, so I have no idea how to describe the bug to Hugo dev team.

Hi @dynabler,

what is the path for extended.css?

Can you check latest demo site it was built with 0.123.0
