Craft 2: possible to control plugin triggering order?

Question

I have a Craft site which has 2 different plugins listening to the same event (the Contact Form beforeSend event).
The outcome is one is being triggered before the other and this is causing issues. Is there any way of specifying the priority of one plugin over the other or ensuring that they happen in a specific sequence?

Unfortunately, nothing I'm aware of for Craft 2, I'm afraid.
In Craft 3, there's still not a great solution, but there is a $append parameter where you can kind of force it to go to the top of the list: https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2/blob/master/framework/base/Event.php#L103
But that would stop a plugin that was loaded after yours to use the same parameter and come out on top.
