Prioritization of triggers

It is recommended to segment customers in triggered emails which is provided by Product and Customer filters.

For example, create trigger A with product filter including Category = Pet supplies and another one with the filter Category = Electronics. In order to prefer one of the triggers to others (in case a customer would fall to both triggers), choose Unlock order and rearrange the ordering of triggers.
