The order of layer switching in a NiFe/Cu/Co spin valve is determined directly using circular polarized x-ray resonant magnetic scattering. By monitoring changes in the angular dependence of the magnetic contributions to the reflectivity near the Fe L3 and Co L3 edges as a function of applied field, the order of layer switching is directly obtained.
