IE's attachEvent, FF's addEventListener and Event fire order #2212

IE 6/7 with attachEvent fires event reversed as they were attached. It's a common issue, not related to mootools. However, the Events class can handle it.

addEvent("domready",function () {
$("x").addEvent("click",function () { alert("1"); });
$("x").addEvent("click",function () { alert("2"); });
});

x
FF will alert 1, 2

IE will alert 2, 1

For custom events, it's obviously ok:

addEvent("domready",function () {
$("x").addEvent("custom",function () { alert("1"); });
$("x").addEvent("custom",function () { alert("2"); });
$("x").addEvent("click",function () { this.fireEvent("custom"); });
});

x
alert 1,2 for both browsers.

Though I'm not relying on the event order, it might affect stuff without noticing.
