The packages will be started according to Order, but I am betting you are using a StartDataMgmtSequence() which starts the package in the background, allowing control to be passed on to the next item in the Calculation list.  At that point, the second one is started, while the first could still be running.

The solution is to use ExecuteDataMgmtSequence() which starts the package and waits until it completes.  That will allow the packages to run sequentially.
