Sequence

  • Buttons and bars in the same position are arranged in add-on sequence. However "Inner" versions take precedence.
  • Add-ons are executed in reversed sequence. Therefore if several add-ons work on the same thing (e.g. file icon), the first one ususally overrides the others.
  • Filtering (by Search button) and sorting (by Sort button) just present the list in alternative ways. They do not affect the actual sequence.
