We have a an application with a list of rules (probably no more than 10) that a user defines (plus some default one):

Every rule has a condition it checks for, and some action it preforms when the condition is met.
Logicially, The rules have an if/then/else or Switch/case relationship. This means if you switch the order of the rules it can have significant impact on what will happen. However we've had a hard time conveying this idea to the user (particularly if they dont click on the little help bubble).
Is there a standard pattern to do this?
