The sorting results from the combination of alphabetical sorting at each level and the hierarchy of the folders.

Principle ‘First Match Wins’, determined by the loading order, decides the priority.

You start from a common root directory that contains de-DE, en-US, and plugins.

General Sorting and Priority Order

The loading order (and thus the priority) is usually determined by the alphabetical sorting of the folders and modules at each level.

1. Global Folder Level (Highest Priority)

The folders at the top level are processed alphabetically first:

Folder	Priority	Remark
de-DE	1. priority	Loads first.
en-US	2. priority	Loaded to de-DE.
plugins	3. priority	Last loaded.

2. Loading of the Core Rules (de-DE and en-US)

The rules from these core language folders are first inserted into list fuzzy_map_pre.

3. Loading of the plug-in rules (Lower priority)

The plug-ins come only in third place because the folder plugins comes alphabetically after de-DE and en-US.

Within the plugins folder, the subfolders are traversed alphabetically again:

Plug-in	Alphabetical Order
CCC_tue	1. Plug-in
digits_to_numbers	2. Plug-in

4. Final priority chain for FUZZY_MAP_pre

The loading process collects all found rules into the final list. Priority order:

Place in fuzzy_map_pre	Path to the rule	Priority
1.	de-DE/FUZZY_MAP_pre.py	Highest (Basic language rules)
2.	en-US/FUZZY_MAP_pre.py	High (basic language rules)
3.	plugins/CCC_tue/de-DE/FUZZY_MAP_pre.py	Middle High (Plugins are sorted alphabetically, CCC comes before digits)
4.	plugins/digits_to_numbers/de-DE/FUZZY_MAP_pre.py	Low (plugins are sorted alphabetically)

Important: Focus on language (context dependency)

It is filtered according to the currently active language.

Loading only the rules for German (de-DE) results in a more logical priority that values core rules higher than plugin rules:

1. Core Rules: de-DE/FUZZY_MAP_pre.py

2. Plugin Rules (CCC): plugins/CCC_tue/de-DE/FUZZY_MAP_pre.py

3. Plugin Rules (Digits): plugins/digits_to_numbers/de-DE/FUZZY_MAP_pre.py

Conclusion on prioritization:

• Core rules prevail against all plugins because they are loaded first by sorting the folders alphabetically.

• Plugins among themselves are sorted strictly alphabetically according to the name of the plugin folder (C before D). This means that CCC_tue has a higher priority than digits_to_numbers.
