Okay, first up is the order in which the stewards' reports are listed and in time-order (as in, time on the document). Basically, I've applied the penalties in this order: Alonso, Barrichello, Button, Sutil, Buemi, Kovalainen*. Before applying the next penalty, I renumbered everything so that it was as if the next penalty was the only one to be applied.
And here it is in the order of first to last based on when they set their Q2 lap times. The order, this time, goes Buemi (because he had to have the accident before anything else could happen), Alonso, Button, Barrichello, Sutil, Kovalainen*.
I think the latter is the one they will use. Either way, it works out better for some than others.
* Kovalainen is last because I would assume that the decision to change his gearbox couldn't be made until after qualifying is finished.
