I don't think that the sequence matters because the original question (over 4 months back now) was all to do with guaranteeing that a consistent set of patches was applied.
Each OS supplier may have different methods, but they all have them and that is what was questioned.

spectool - manual page for spectool v1.0.10rpmdev1
SYNOPSIS
spectool [<options>] <specfile>
DESCRIPTION
Spectool is a tool to expand and download sources and patches from specfiles.
If you experience problems with specific specfiles, try to run
rpmbuild --nobuild --nodeps <specfile>
on the file which might give a clue why spectool fails on a file (ignore anything about missing sources or patches). The plan is to catch
errors like this in spectool itself and warn the user about it in the future.

-g, --gf, --get-files

-S, --sources
