Whenever the loading order changes, like when there is an update the display of the modal breaks until I move the loading order....this is not a viable solution.
The ordering of the plugins (once set) should not change when updating extensions.
Looks like you have issues on you site.
This has nothing to do with Modals itself.
Sorry, but it does change. I just updated YOOtheme Pro (as there was no update for Modals right now) and the order changed and the modal no longer displays correctly. I did NOTHING but click update in the back end.
