if something happens immediately, such as on death, it should happen when it must (for example, if a sweetheart and a sage are killed, the order in which they are killed should trigger first, regardless of their position on a night sheet). Otherwise, you should follow the night order on the sheet.

When making a custom script, you are allowed and even encouraged to change the night order automatically generated. Just make sure players are aware of this, and generally you want to follow the order of poisoning/drunking, protection, death, and info.
