Presuming you want to control the order of the files by having them
listed one-per-line in a file, you could do something like

:g/^/exe 'sview '.getline('.')|w!>>output.txt|q

This looks at each line in your order-control file, splits to open
the file named on the line (using ":sview" so it's read-only), writes
the contents (appending) to "output.txt", then quits the split
window, leaving you back in your original order-control file.
