Ordering of Files within a bundle - What are the known libraries?

Question

In Bundling and Minification, I\'ve known that the bundler will move around certain known file types -- so that things like jQuery will be moved to the front.

Its in the doc comments for BundleCollection.AddDefaultFileOrderings:

    /// 

    /// Add default file ordering for common popuular script and style libraries.
    /// 
    /// A collection of  objects to populate with default values.
    /// 
    /// The purpose for applying these default file ordering values is to ensure that common libraries such as jquery are always located 
    /// at or close to the top within a bundle. These values can be all removed with .
    /// 
    /// The default ordering values are as follows:
    /// 
    ///     reset.css
    ///     normalize.css
    ///     jquery.js
    ///     jquery-min.js
    ///     jquery-*
    ///     jquery-ui*
    ///     jquery.ui*
    ///     jquery.unobtrusive*
    ///     jquery.validate*
    ///     modernizr-*
    ///     dojo.*
    ///     mootools-core*
    ///     mootools-*
