Is DependsOn attribute in cloudformation honored on update as well ?

Hi,

I have a usecase where resource A DependsOn resource B. Both resources have already been created in my aws account. I want to make a cloudformation change to update both resource A and B and I want that the update is first applied to resource B and then A.

Question: Is the dependency order followed during explicit dependency ?

The AWS docs (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-attribute-dependson.html) mentions that the order is followed for implicit dependency but it is not clear whether it is followed for explicit dependency as well.
