If multiple policies are triggered at the same time, the policies will run based on their name in alphanumeric order. Policies with names beginning with a number will run before policies that do not.

Policies can be renamed to ensure that they run on a device in a specific order. This is useful when an application needs to first be uninstalled before installing a newer version. The uninstall policy can be renamed to ensure that it runs prior to the install policy.

For example, if policies “Alpha” and “Beta” are triggered at the same time, “Alpha” will run first. However, if it would be preferable for “Beta” to run first, "Beta" should be renamed to “1Beta”.
