Order of Operation for Generators

Generator Types

When multiple generators are present in a structure, they are run in the following order, based on their generator type:

  1. Insert generators
  2. Extend generators
  3. Filter generators
  4. Group generators
  5. Sort generators

Generators of the Same Type

If there are multiple generators of the same type:

  • Group generators - grouping is applied from top to bottom, starting with the top-most Group generator
  • Sort generators - sorting is applied from bottom to top, starting with the bottom-most Sort generator
  • This does not affect the results of Insert, Extend or Filter generators

To change the order generators of the same type are run, simply move them up or down in the structure.

Moving generators up or down in the structure does not affect which types of generators are run first.
