Explanation
To prioritize a plugin's execution, a developer can use thesortOrderproperty and specify a higher value than the target plugin. For example, if the developer wants to prioritize a plugin namedMyPluginover a plugin namedOtherPlugin, they would add the following code to theetc/config.phpfile:
'modules' => [
'Vendor_MyPlugin' => [
'sortOrder' => 100,
],
'Vendor_OtherPlugin' => [
'sortOrder' => 50,
],
],
This would ensure thatMyPluginis always executed beforeOtherPlugin.
