Hallo Gene,

That would be odd. Never happens to me.

The order of the filters is important. Every message is compared to
the filter conditions in the order of the filters in the sorting
office. TB starts with matching the common filters and after that it
continues with the account filters.
As soon as TB has a match the comparing is stopped and the filter is
executed.
There are two cases TB will continue matching filters:
1) The triggered filter has subfilters, in this case TB will match the
message against the subfilters
2) The triggered filter has the option 'continue processing with
other filters' set, in this case the triggered filter will be
executed, but the matching will be continued like no match has been
found.

Both the filter order and the 'continue processing...' option have
been the same since forever.
