Order of Operations in a Transformer

Hi All
I understand that the order of Operations in a Transfer will be stage variables followed by constraints followed by expressions.
But Recently i heard that this order can be changed by changing some entries in the Registry... In the sense by tweaking the registry we can make the constraints to execute first followed by stage varaiables and so on...
I couldn't find any information on this...is this true that this can be done...If yes has anyone tried it...


Thanks
Pavan

Why would you want to do that? :roll:

If at all you need to process the derivation expressions before the stage variables, then add a Transformer before the existing transformer and have your column derivations done in the first, followed by stage variable processing in the latter.
