Hey JJ-

It should be the policy order (on the Group Policy tab) (say you have GPO#1,
GPO#2) each with an MSI or 2 in the software installation settings... then
do the software packages per policy.

So your order of precedence should be:
GPO#1 - Package 1
GPO#1 - Package 2
GPO#1 - Package 3 (etc.)
GPO#2 - Package 1
GPO#2 - Package 2 (and so on and so on)

... at least I'm pretty sure
