Rule Control Properties

At rule level you can apply rule order, rule priority and rule overriding properties to individual rules.

You can set rule order in the Rule Explorer. You can set it to in A-Z order, or you can manually set the order in which the rules appear. See Sorting Rules in a Ruleset for details.
Rule priority (priority property)

You can use a static priority to change the sequence of rule execution among rules. Static priorities are integers whose relative values determine the priorities among the rules.
You can use a static priority to change the order of execution between several instances of the same rule when they are eligible for execution at the same time. A dynamic priority is an expression whose value depends on ruleset variables bound in the condition part of a rule. See Setting Simple Priorities Among Rules for details.

Rule overriding (overriddenRules property)

This rule property enables you to give a rule precedence over one or more other rules. See Rule Overriding for details.
