Gary, computers are hard and shouldn't be used by retired folks. :) Run it
like below, it will load last. Use AI for docs - much easier and faster
than our brains.
Type=idle
Behavior of idle is very similar to simple; however, actual execution of
the service program is delayed until all active jobs are dispatched. This
may be used to avoid interleaving the output of shell services with the
status output on the console. Note that this type is useful only to improve
console output, it is not useful as a general unit ordering tool, and the
effect of this service type is subject to a 5s timeout, after which the
service program is invoked anyway.

The following message was in the queue as being from a non-subscriber. I
rarely check these things....

I believe this was already posted to the list back in March, which is when it is dated. I
haven't saved my emails since back then and would have to check the archive to get the
context. But, I believe I was complaining about the overarching and unnecesarily complex
nature of systemd :)
As an aside, as a result of that converstaion, I've looked in to Suspend on the
desktop instead of going through the shutdown and reboot cycle. I haven't done it
yet, but unless you are rebooting to "clean things up", it seems like a better
way to do things and eliminates the need for developing boot scripts to re-establish the
desired system configuration.
And yes, no one is perfect and neither am I :)
