Description

Quote from currently published doc:

> order: This is the order in which processors are executed. If this is not specified, then processor execution order will be random.

Quote from current [Telegraf master](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/664d013acba3f3209e9e46ec5bb5f9e7c5f26bf4/docs/CONFIGURATION.md):

> order: The order in which the processor(s) are executed. starting with 1. If this is not specified then processor execution order will be the order in the config. Processors without "order" will take precedence over those with a defined order.
