The WordPress Hook Sniffer plugin is a tool for plugin developers that helps determine the sequence in which action and filter functions are fired. It allows you to peer into the inner workings of the WordPress Plugin API. You can configure what is outputted and to where the output is sent (screen or text file).

More detailed information can be found on my blog, including a link to the WordPress Plugin Repository where it is hosted: http://jeffsayre.com/2010/04/29/introducing-wordpress-hook-sniffer-a-developer-plugin/
