There are times when a workspace (or automation) initiates several processes in parallel.

However, it is not always clear which path FME will choose to tackle first.

It would be really cool if the physical design of the workspace or automation had an impact. For example, if the order of Reader Feature Types, or the length of the connection line determined the order of submission.

Feature Types within a Bookmark might be read from left to right, or top to bottom.

Parallel processes that can all start after a trigger would be decided by which path was shortest submitting to the job queue first, to that with the longest path being submitted last.
