Currently it is impossible to make local rules trigger before the global event triggers.
all rules placed under the 'parts' or 'assemblies' tab always trigger before the local rules under the same trigger.
for example: global rules runs before save, sets all occurrences to 'default' view representation. local rule runs after that, turns occurrnces on or off, view representation is reset to 'master'. can place the same code in all local rules but the code can be a lot cleaner without all the same snippets repeating in every code, because the order of the rules can be changed.
