Description

Something that is documented by example, but not explained is the usage of arrays with resource actions. It is also important to note the order as they are executed left to right so it would be helpful to note this somewhere in the common functionality docs would be my guess for a good location.

Research direction

Read the execution order referenced in lib/chef/runner.rb#L98, then locate the common functionality documentation in this repository. Document how arrays work with resource actions and make the left-to-right execution order explicit; the documentation should explain both points by example or text.
