The start/stop order for a particular service is normally set in the
header of its init script, typically located in /etc/rc.d/init.d/.
Details on running chkconfig to start/alter/stop services can be found
on the chkconfig manpage. Editing the init script and then re-running
chkconfig to reconfigure the service is a way to alter when a
particular service starts up in one or more runlevels.

However, if your issues are due to the way that Ubuntu starts its
networking service, follow Robert's link and see if you can get a
normally functioning system without having to resort to editing your
init scripts. I don't run Ubuntu, so can't be of any help there.

Cheers,
Nick
