Description
What problem are you trying to solve?
Currently there is a constraint on recipe order https://docs.openrewrite.org/recipes/text/findandreplace
Describe the solution you'd like
As discussed on slack https://rewriteoss.slack.com/archives/C01A843MWG5/p1686745375884939
If possible, it would make sense to remove that strong limatation.
Have you considered any alternatives or workarounds?
Have an option to allow auto-ordering

Research direction
Start with the recipe-ordering documentation for FindAndReplace and the linked Slack discussion. No source files or tests are named, so trace where the LST-before-FindAndReplace constraint is enforced. Done means the strong ordering limitation is removed or an agreed auto-ordering option is implemented and verified.
