DJ-jQueryMonster is a free Joomla plugin that helps to get rid of the conflicts with jQuery.
If this plugin is enabled, it takes care of the correct order of scripts inclusion. Additionally, it can remove unnecessary jQuery and jQuery UI instances and replace them with the selected versions of those scripts.
Enabling jQuery and/or jQuery UI will not only include the selected version of the script to your website, but it will also remove all other jQuery/jQuery UI scripts from the source code to avoid including the same library few times, which is the most common issue on the websites with many 3rd party extensions installed.
To open the plugin's settings, navigate System -> Manage Plugins
