I am trying to fully understand how the parse order works - not an easy thing but I am getting there (I think).

I have Low’s PDF http://loweblog.com/downloads/ee-parse-order.pdf as the bible.

My question is - the PDF states that global variables are parsed first but then states that user global variables and others are parsed last. So how do you know which global variables are parsed first? Is there a list somewhere, and could we add some more detail on this in the wiki?

Thanks,

An answer from Low himself on his new blog post: http://gotolow.com/blog/parse-order-and-low-variables

“Early parsed global variables are Snippets, Segment variables and Embed variables. In addition to that, any variables defined in your index.php or config.php are also parsed early.

All other global variables are parsed late. See also the EE docs on global template variables.”

Thank you Low!
