9901.607(a) Is DoD required to apply the criteria (tenure, veterans preference, rating of record, and creditable civilian and/or uniformed service) in the exact order they are listed in the regulation? If so, the regulation needs to state that explicitly.

I know supervisors who would want veterans preference to be the first criteria, then within veterans preference, list employees by length of service, and then by rating of record so that older veterans are retained over younger or better performing veterans or nonveterans.
