SQL Server triggers - order of execution

Question

Does anyone know how SQL Server determines the order triggers (of same type, i.e. before triggers) are executed. And is there any way of changing this so that I can specify

Answer 1

You can guarantee which trigger is fired first, which trigger is fired last and which ones fire in the middle by using sp_settriggerorder. If you need to synchronize more than three it does not appear possible in SQL Server 2005.

Here is a sample taken from here (The linked article has much more information).

sp_settriggerorder [ @triggername = ] ‘[ triggerschema. ] triggername’
, [ @order = ] ‘value’
, [ @stmttype = ] ’statement_type’
[ , [ @namespace = ] { ‘DATABASE’ | ‘SERVER’ | NULL } ]
