How to fire tags in a specific order

If you want to fully control the order in which tags fire on your website, you can set the priority and put them in a specific order. It is useful when you have related tags and one needs to run a script before the other one.

Before you start

Here are some things to know, before you begin sorting tags:

• By default, tags are fired in an unspecified order.
• Prioritized tags fire before all other tags from top to bottom of the list. You can set an order by using the drag-and-drop.
• All synchronous tags fire before asynchronous tags.

To fire tags in a specific order, follow these steps:

1. Go to Menu > Tag Manager.
2. Navigate to Settings.
3. On the left, click Tag priority.
4. Choose which tags you want to work with: Asynchronous tags or Synchronous tags.
   

   

5. On the list with available tags, mark tags you want to prioritize.
   

   

6. Click the arrow to add selected tags to the list with prioritized tags.
   

   

7. In Prioritized tags, drag and drop tags to set them in a specific order.
   

   

8. When you’re done, click Save.
9. Optionally, test your tags in debug mode.
10. When you’re happy how tags work, click Publish.
