What determines the order of ethernet devices?

One issue that occurred when going from FC-5 to FC-6 on my desktop
was that the order of the 3 ethernet devices changed.
This didn't really cause a problem;
I simply permuted the files /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth[012].
But I wondered:
1. What caused this change?
2. Is there any simple way of ensuring that a given device is say eth0?
