<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">Greetings:<div><br></div><div>If the requirement is to control the order of execution of the rules then (to quote Dr. EF-H) you probably are using a hammer when you needed a screwdriver. Meaning that you are trying to use a rulebase for a procedural problem. There are many times that a rulebase should NOT be use and this sounds like one of the main examples of that situation.</div><div><br></div><div>However, if you absolutely, positively insist on using a rulebase, then just give each rule a specificity or priority and they will fire in that order.<br><div apple-content-edited="true"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate;
