How to define alert execution sequences ?

Question

Hello everyone,
I needed to set up an alert which would only be launched if a 'new' entry was added to the OPKL table, by new I mean entries which weren't detected by the previous alert, it seemed hard at first but I found a means to do it, ( if anyone is interested in how I achieved it ,I can post the solution) But a second problem showed up : I couldn't use complex queries in my alert as it resulted in disabling Drill down options ( orange arrows) in the alert results, I decided to split the alert into two separate alerts, but in order for this solution to work, I need the alerts to be executed in a precise order, as in " Alert1 goes first THEN Alert2"
can anybody tell me if it is possible to control the alert launch sequence,  and if yes how ?
Thanks in advance

Hello Lakshmi,
The solution I found involved creating a user Table (@LASTPKL) in which i would store the Entry of the last Pick list entered, and then I would launch a querry which would select thias particular entry, display it, and eventually update it if there were any others newer. So what you need to do is to create a User Table 
and then set the folowing query as your alert query :
DECLARE @Flag INT
SET @Flag=0
IF((SELECT MAX(AbsEntry) FROM OPKL)<>(SELECT MAX(CODE) FROM [@LASTPKL]))
  BEGIN
  SET @Flag =1
  SELECT T0.AbsEntry As 'Numéro', T0.[Name] As 'Created by', T0.CreateDate As 'Creation date',  T0.PickDate As 'Picking date',
  CASE T0.Status
  WHEN 'Y' THEN 'Picked'
  WHEN 'R' THEN 'Validated'
  WHEN 'P' THEN 'Partialy picked'
  WHEN 'D' THEN 'partialy delivered'
  ELSE 'Closed'
  END
"Pick lists waiting "
FROM OPKL T0 WHERE T0.AbsEntry = (SELECT MAX(AbsEntry) FROM OPKL)
END
IF @Flag <> 0
BEGIN
   DELETE FROM [@LASTPKL]
   INSERT INTO [@LASTPKL] (Code,[@LASTPKL].[Name])
   (SELECT T0.AbsEntry,T0.AbsEntry FROM OPKL T0
   WHERE T0.AbsEntry=(SELECT MAX(AbsEntry) FROM OPKL))
END
One assumption I made was that the picklist codes would always follow an ascending order, and due to the query's structure teh drilldown orange arrows won't be displayed.
I hope this helps.
Best Regards
