Setting Widget Loading Priority - akumina/AkuminaTraining GitHub Wiki

Overview

As of 4.0.0.0, developers are able to fine tune the order in which widget instances are loaded on a page. This is managed by setting a value within the WidgetPriority column for a widget instance inside of the WidgetProperties_AK list.
