Does sequence in formula matter?

[shalmaxb]

As the title says, I have been asking myself, if the sequence in formulas matter. E.g. is it important to put formulas, that make calculations of fields in the beginning of a detail view, also in the beginning of the formulas?
And inside , e.g. a IfThen formula, is the sequence important?

I am asking this, because I have some formulas, thet require two or three times of recalculation when they are activated. Or is that because of any other reason?

Logically thinking; I would say the first line of formula will get run before the second line. I don't see how it would be design otherwise; I don't think we have "AI" formula yet where it only do what is needed.

Hello,
formula is : beforeSave ..

so in detail view .. no .. you put calculed field where you will
in formula.. yes there are order .. and important

in very basic for understand :
a = fieldA
b = a
is not same as
b = a
a = fieldA

same with ifThen and so.

detail view is just render data from database
formula... put value in field in database..

so you need in formula "sequence/order" just

other word : it's front end (view) ... it's back end formula

Hi, it is totally right to have the correct sequence. I adjusted my formulas in this way and now it works much better. Side effect: You will find mistakes
so rule 1: sequence of formulas according to order in your view
rule 2: sequence inside ifThen formulas important one after another as necessary.
