App directory names in the global context

When determining priority in the global context, Splunk software uses lexicographical order to determine priority among the collection of apps directories. For example, files in an apps directory named “A” have a higher priority than files in an apps directory named “B”, and so on.

App directory names in the app/user context

When determining priority in the app/user context, Splunk software uses reverse-lexicographical order to determine priority among the collection of apps directories, For example, files in an apps directory named “B” have a higher priority than files in an apps directory named “A”, and so on.Splunk–TA-inputs
