execution order

Steps run when

Execution order is the sequence in which instructions or operations are carried out.

In programming, execution order determines which lines of code run first, which matters when one operation depends on another's result: The bug occurred because the execution order wasn't what I expected.

In legal contexts, it refers to the sequence in which death sentences are carried out.
