Precedence

Precedence refers to the order in which the various search operators within the filter search query specification are evaluated. Table 20 shows the levels of precedence. Expressions within parentheses are evaluated first. Using parentheses can alter the order of precedence within an expression.

Oracle's Siebel Business Applications evaluate the expression within the parentheses first, before evaluating the expression outside.
