Description

At this point here, where the guide discusses Kext loading and order:
https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/config.plist/comet-lake.html#add-3

In the 'More in-depth info' dropdown is the following statement:

_A reminder that [ProperTree (opens new window)](https://github.com/corpnewt/ProperTree) users can run Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + R to add all their kexts in the correct order without manually typing each kext out._

This statement is **false**.

Maybe it's a bug in proper tree, but using CMD+SHIFT+R to add Kexts does not add them in the correct order.

I had three days of troubleshooting before I realised I had been blindly following the information above, and looked at someone else's config.plist to realise the ordering was incorrect. (ProperTree had added everything in alphabetical order from what I could see.)

Maybe not a big deal, but should be updated to help anyone else in future who has used the ProperTree command and messed up their config.plist
