Details??

Order

Specify the order in which this SIA is listed in the action properties → Stream Item Action Rules grid.Order is important because, when evaluating the SIA rule expression, PhixFlow starts with the first SIA in the list. It will run the first SIA that it finds for which the expression evaluates to true. Subsequent SIA will not be evaluated or run PhixFlow evaluates the SIA in order and runs those that evaluate to true in order.
