What is the default signing order for roles?

When using either DocuSign or SIGNIX, all roles that have a signature field on the form are listed in the e-sign pop-up. There is a default order in which the roles are listed, which determines the order that each recipient receives the envelope (customers can override the default order with DocuSign if need be).

The default signing order for roles is found in the table below, with the first role listed at the top:
