# The order parameter

This parameter defines the order in which the parameters in configuration files are applied. Each file has a unique value of order. For example:

abc.cfg:

```
order = 1
url = .*
client.ReceiveTimeout = 60000
```

xyz.cfg:

```
order = 2
url = .*busy.*
client.ReceiveTimeout = 120000
```

If the endpoint address contains "busy", then both config files match as applicable, according to the rules in the url parameter.

In this case, client.ReceiveTimeout will have the longer timeout value 120000 because the order parameters stipulate that xyz.cfg is applied after abc.cfg.
