menu bar third party application order

i have 2 third party applications, iTunesMenu and SleepLess, that i have launching at login via the system preferences>accounts>login items. i want sleepless to launch first in order to have it closer to the right side of the menu bar and have itunesmenu launch after. i have the login items in the right order to do this but sometimes when i start up sleepless takes longer to load than itunesmenu and ends up on left of sleepless on the menu bar.

is there a way i can force the order of the items i have launching on login? is there some dummy programs i can add to the login items to delay the loading of itunesmenu while sleepless loads?

any help is appreciated, thanks

making an applescript solves the problem
