actually Smart Identification is another type of object identfication which QTP uses. if Smart Identification is disabled then Ordinal identifier comes in picture, If smart identification is enabled then also QTP identifies objects in normal identification process ie Mandatory and Assistive. it will not use the ordinal identifiers in this case. If the normal identification fails then it will come to the smart identification.now it will use base filter properties and tries to identify the object uniquely.
So I don't think we can set a sequence here.

Please let me know if I am missing somewhere.

Yeah Sreekanth. The order of run-time object identification is Learned Description > Smart Identification(SI) > Ordinal Identifier.

@Saket: Even when SI is enabled, ordinal identifiers can come into picture. This will be when QTP is not able to identify object using Learned Description and SI.
And of course, when SI is disabled then order would be Learned description and Ordinal Identifier.
Let me know if I am able to put my point across.
