I figgured this out. At the picking window for the drilling cycles, use the window with a picture of an arrow in it (like your mouse pointer) Picking circles is a little harder, ie you have to pay more attention to get the center of the circle, but ....Using this method will let your drilling operation follow the order you picked the circles.

I find it hard to believe that this is such a problem now, it was easy in Mcam 9.1. Wonder what happened??

In Mcam 4 when I pick holes to drill, I use the entities option, but I would like the drilling to proceed in the order I pick the holes, NOT the order Mastercam wants to use. How do I do this?
