Poker Hand Evaluator

I disagree that the order is important, but it all depends on how you code it. A flush beats a straight regardless of which one you check for first. If you're concerned about order then why not just check each hand in the same order as the rankings? ie. check for 1 pair, then 2 pair, then 3 of a kind, etc. Also, how are you ranking hands of the same type? ie. two flushes.
