The sequential flag controls the rule's salience per XLS worksheet.

Rule's RHS are executed according to their salience values and hence the sequential flag will control the rules RHS execution order. 

See http://docs.jboss.org/drools/release/6.1.0.Final/drools-docs/html/ch06.html#d0e3942 and http://docs.jboss.org/drools/release/6.1.0.Final/drools-docs/html/DroolsLanguageReferenceChapter.html#d0e6859 for more information.

If you want to control the execution across multiple Decision Tables you'll need to define the rows salience manually, with the "highest priority" Decision Table having values higher than the lower priority tables.

Drools Version 6.1.0.Final

I have three Excel DTs which I would like to fire in order.  The Sequential
option appears to just order the rules within an excel DT.  I confirmed that
by printing the resulting rules and see that the generated rules from
different sheets have the same priority.

I can manually set the PRIORITY in the actual sheets, but that makes
inserting sheets or even lines in a sheet cumbersome.

Is there a way to tell drools to fire all rules across all DT's
sequentially?

Thanks.
