# Rules

### What is the difference between order and priority?

The **order** is a visual element that displays the order of the rule in the list. The order does not affect the score.

The **priority** is the weight of the rule, it goes from 1 to 10. The more priority number selected, the more priority the rule has. It does affect the rule score.

### Do I need to create a group in which I add all variety of food I want to restrict and then add this to a rule?

Yes, you need to create a [new rule](https://docs.suggestic.com/console/accessing-the-console/advanced-options/manage-rules#ingredient-group) and then create a new[ ingredient group](https://docs.suggestic.com/console/accessing-the-console/access-the-main-menu/ingredient-groups#my-groups).

### What is the maximum value for priority in a rule?

The maximum value to define a rule priority is 10.  If you add more than 10 it will be the same as using 10.
