dat/data load order confusion

fallout2.cfg says "master_patches=data" and sfall's ddraw.ini states that the load order with DataLoadOrderPatch=1 (which is default) is "master_patches > critter_patches > patchXXX.dat > critter_dat > f2_res_patches > f2_res_dat > master_dat"
If I have RPU installed and change, for example, "text/german/cuts/narrate.txt" and put it under "data/", it doesn't work.  The "mods/rpu_german.dat" seems to have a higher priority. 
If I put the file into a dat, say "z.dat" under mods, it works fine.

Why is that?  Shouldn't have everything under data/ have the highest priority?

data should be the highest, if it isn't working, I suggest raising an issue in sfall repo.

Sorry for stealing your time, I just made a stupid mistake with the folder structure. It works as intended.

Nevertheless, thanks for the quick reaction every time.
