Nope. On RT 4.0, which is what I assume you mean by "vendor packages RT
4 on Ubuntu 14.04" you order scrips by their descriptions.  Typically
this is done by literally numbering scrips that will run in the same
condition.

Debian has 4.2 packages available in testing, encouraging Ubuntu to
take upgrades would be helpful.

ID number has nothing to do with ordering.

You still haven't said what the Scrip is that isn't firing, both Alex
and I assumed it was your Autoreply to Requestors because you were
unclear.

I've certainly modified a subject in a Scrip and then had an Autoreply
fire with the correct subject by using a TransactionBatch scrip.

Keep in mind, if you make all your Notify scrips TransactionBatch,
they will no longer show up in the Preview Scrips box.

I've seen your rewritten template, but a Notify scrip running in the
transaction batch stage which has merely

Subject: { $Ticket->Subject }

should be more than sufficient, assuming it runs after your Subject
modification scrip, preferably in a TransactionBatch scrip on the same
Condition.
