The order of banner announcements

[GaominZ]

Hi, 

I'd like to ask what is the rule of the order of banners?

For example, if I want to show 3 banners at the same time, I know I could set the number in "order" to decide.
But how about if I set three of them all "1"? 
Or how about I set of three of them all empty? 
(I use Japanes. The banner sometimes start from Japanese characters, alphabet or brackets)
And, are those with empty order showed after those with number set?


From my experience, I know it may probably be related to UTF code (unicode).
Can someone help me understand?

Hi @GaominZ,

Banner Announcements (records on the 'sys_ux_banner_announcement' table) which have no order defined are displayed by the most recent start date/time up to the current moment.

Hi, 

Thank you for your quick reply.

I also think about that yet is turns out that the order has nothing to with the creation date. 
For example, 
The creation date order(new) is Banner1 (the newest)>Banner2>Banner3 (the oldest)
when I set the order all as "1"
They are shown as "2>1>3"
Why is it?

Hi @GaominZ,

Just to clarify, when I mentioned the start date/time above, this relates to the mandatory field labelled 'Start' against a banner announcement as per the screen shot below (Not the creation date or the updated date).

If no order is defined, the announcements are displayed by the most recent start date/time up to the current moment.

If an order is defined against the 'Associated configurations', the order will take precedence.

I've tested this and confirmed it on my PDI.

Hi @Robbie ,

Thank you very much for the clear explanation. I misread the reply above. 
The banners are displayed in the order of recent "start date," I now totally got it.
I have tried several patterns to test the order of display, yet didnt think of the start date.
My test result matched your answer 😄
Thanks again for the patiently reply and screenshot.
