How to automatically execute shell script at Startup Boot on systemd Linux?

What’s the Order of startup scripts in systemd?
You may know that SystemV (systemd’s predecessor, as I explained in the first article in this series) orders the startup sequence by naming the startup scripts with an SXX prefix, where XX is a number from 00 to 99. SystemV then uses the sort order by name and runs each start script in sequence for the desired runlevel.
