 Order of precedence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An order of precedence is a sequential hierarchy of nominal importance of people; it is used by many organizations and governments.
One's position in an order of precedence is not necessarily an indication of functional importance, but rather an indication of ceremonial or historical relevance; for instance, it may dictate where dignitaries are seated at formal dinners.
Additionally, it may serve as the order of succession to determine who replaces the head of state in the event they are removed from office or incapacitated, although the two terms are not interchangeable in most cases.

In the late 1950's the Australian philosopher and early computer scientist Charles L. Hamblin proposed a scheme in which the operators follow the operands (postfix operators), resulting in the Reverse Polish Notation.

 BZN 59(1) Comments
Although any proposal to grant a junior synonym precedence over a senior synonym sets aside priority, this case differs from other such cases in that the senior synonym has been used often and continuously as the valid name of a species since it was first published.
Therefore, the proposal to grant precedence to the junior synonym rests entirely on a difference in the numbers of times the two names have been used..
The reason that the precedence of these names is at issue is a taxonomic proposal based on the conclusion that two species formerly considered separate constitute a single species (Hollingsworth, 1998).
