Table of precedence

This table describes the precedence of CQL filters.

Filters in the same cell of the table have the same precedence.

The table's cells are arranged in order of increasing precedence (as you go down the table, the precedence increases). Thus, and has high precedence than or because it is further down the table.

Precedence is explained more fully here.
