" This property provides an unsigned integer 'n' that"
"indicates the relative position of a PolicyAction in the "
"sequence of actions associated with a PolicyRule. "
"When 'n' is a positive integer, it indicates a place "
"in the sequence of actions to be performed, with "
"smaller integers indicating earlier positions in the "
"sequence. The special value '0' indicates 'don't care'. "
"If two or more PolicyActions have the same non-zero "
"sequence number, they may be performed in any order, but "
"they must all be performed at the appropriate place in the "
"overall action sequence. \n\n"
" "
"A series of examples will make ordering of PolicyActions "
"clearer: \n"
" o If all actions have the same sequence number, "
" regardless of whether it is '0' or non-zero, any "
" order is acceptable.\n "
" o The values: \n"
" 1:ACTION A \n"
" 2:ACTION B \n"
" 1:ACTION C \n"
" 3:ACTION D \n"
" indicate two acceptable orders: A,C,B,D or C,A,B,D, "
" since A and C can be performed in either order, but "
" only at the '1' position. \n"
" o The values: \n"
" 0:ACTION A \n"
" 2:ACTION B \n"
" 3:ACTION C \n"
" 3:ACTION D \n"
" require that B,C, and D occur either as B,C,D or as "
" B,D,C. Action A may appear at any point relative to "
" B, C, and D. Thus the complete set of acceptable "
" orders is: A,B,C,D; B,A,C,D; B,C,A,D; B,C,D,A; "
" A,B,D,C; B,A,D,C; B,D,A,C; B,D,C,A. \n\n"

"Note that the non-zero sequence numbers need not start "
"with '1', and they need not be consecutive. All that "
"matters is their relative magnitude.")
