Execution order of policy

Hi，I know that for a program, there must be a sequence of execution, so what is the sequence of ASM policy？I want to know the order of various protection strategies in a policy. For example, compared with SQL injection and XPath injection, who takes effect first， and what is the order of other protection strategies？

policy
security

    Hi, Is there a particular function you would like to know this for? It may help get you to the answer. 

    Do keep in mind though that the WAF system works on an "all-match" strategy (all components that are active and get matched will be reported), rather than a "first-match" strategy (like a firewall policy).

      Obviously, when the blacklist and injection exist at the same time, the blacklist must take effect first, isn't it? Then I believe there is a sequence for the same strategy
