Behavior Order Of Operations - Archival + Modifiers

I have a unique scenario where I have an ActiveRecord model utilizing multiple behaivors - one of which archives on save. This behavior works great with the exception of one problem: modifiers!!

Archive Behavior:

afterFind() sets $_oldAttributes property

beforeSave() sets $_newAttributes property

afterSave() saves the delta to the database

I also have an IP Address behavior used to convert the field from a long from DB to a usable IP address as such:

IPAddressBehavior:

afterFind() converts $owner->ipField from long to ip

beforeSave() converts $owner->ipField from ip to long

I am running into problems where either new/old attributes will have been converted due to the order of the attached behavior.

Current order of operations:

AfterFind: Convert IP then Archive

BeforeSave: Convert IP then Archive (results in mis-matched parameters)

I need the order of operations to be:

AfterFind: Convert IP then Archive

BeforeSave: Archive then Convert IP

Any suggestions to this? I’ve tried re-arranging the order of attached behaviors. If I was to use afterValidate, does that happen before or after beforeSave?
