I am working on a sheet where I have several rules going, and I have placed them in the order I want. However, whenever I update the sheet, the order shifts and the rule which I have marked as "Stop If True" moves to the bottom. Any clue on how to fix this?
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
What happens when more than one conditional formatting rule evaluates to true
For a range of cells, you can have more than one conditional formatting rule that evaluates to true. Either the rules don't conflict or they conflict:
When rules don't conflict For example, if one rule formats a cell with a bold font and another rule formats the same cell with a red color, the cell is formatted with both a bold font and a red color. Because there is no conflict between the two formats, both rules are applied.
When rules conflict For example, one rule sets a cell font color to red and another rule sets a cell font color to green. Because the two rules are in conflict, only one can apply. The rule that is applied is the one that is higher in precedence.
