 === Combined Global Filter and GatewayFilter Ordering
 
-TODO: document ordering
+When a request comes in (and matches a Route) the Filtering Web Handler will add all instances of `GlobalFilter` and all route specific instances of `GatewayFilter` to a filter chain. This combined filter chain is sorted by the `org.springframework.core.Ordered` interface, which can be set by implementing the `getOrder()` method or by using the `@Order` annotation.
+
+As Spring Cloud Gateway distinguishes between "pre" and "post" phases for filter logic execution (see: How It Works), the filter with the highest precedence will be the first in the "pre"-phase and the last in the "post"-phase.
