Common Notes for Conditional Rendering
The order of conditions determines their priority. If three or more conditions are added, only the first condition that matches will apply, and subsequent conditions won't be checked.
Additionally, if one ruleset's conditions fail, the system will iterate through subsequent rulesets based on their order until the last ruleset is reached.
