I can't find any information about the startup order of services when booting RouterOS into a router. I'd like to understand which services are activated first and which ones last, for example, assuming the services are enabled, does the client PPPoE service start before or after the SNTP service? The dhcp server?
Thanks in advance for any hint of clarification.

Why would that matter?
I think it is as usual in today's Linux systems: everything is started in parallel, and it is one big race to see which ones start first and which ones later.
That is often inconvenient when you have older software that relies on certain conditions to exist before it starts, but hey that has been labeled "deprecated" so you have to create a solution.
Indeed it can be observed that some services start before time is set correctly on a MikroTik router. But that cannot really be avoided because setting time requires a working network, and a working network (where time services can be accessed) can depend on just about anything else.
So you will have to live with incorrect time at startup followed by a "time jump" when everything is up.
