I've been using BOSS since week 1, which is supposed to have a feature which locks certain load orders (All Better Cities stuff at the bottom, for instance) but I've never been able to get it to work.
So instead, I'll use BOSS to sort stuff, but then use OBMM to move mods around. Currently I move the Bashed Patch all the way to the bottom, and then manually move all the Better Cities stuff below Bashed Patch. I have no idea what Archive Invalidations or Time Stamps or most of the other stuff y'all are talking about.

Wish I did, sometimes. But you all are miles ahead. All I know is that my game works, most of the time. CTDs are rather rare.
