--- Comment #6 from barruel <[email protected]> ---
It is worth noticing that the condition being applied is always the matching
condition with an older creation date.

This is a nightmare when it comes to manage even an amount as small as 2 o 3
overlapping ranges.

I've just found out that editing the conditions for a range or even the range
itself doesn't change the creation date of the rule. Because there is no way to
debug the priority of the rules, this leads to the weird situation that it
becomes easier and faster to delete the whole range than to edit it, which
won't change priority because the ranges, even when edited, keep their original
creation date and thus the priority remains unchanged.

In the current state of the main "Manage conditional formatting" dialog, it is
impossible to tell which is the priority with which the ranges (with their set
of rules) are being applied. If not a way to change the priorities in such
dialog, at least an indication of which range is older and is then taking
priority is absolutely needed, because otherwise the is no point in changing
the ranges when there are overlapping ranges involved. Even with a couple of up
and down buttons to reorder the ranges as proposed above, they would be
meaningless if the creation date of the range (which determines its priority)
or a number showing the priority is not shown.
