Unix Control M - Job selection critiria

Hello all,
Being new to UNIX and Control-M I've runned in some kind of trouble.
If I'm not mistaking Control M performs job selection upon 3 main criteria:
1- If a Job is or is not critical
2- The job's priority
3- Job's "Time From, time until" parameter

Mi question concerns the following example: suppose you have 4 jobs with the same 3 parameters (not critical, same priority, same time from, time until). In these case UNIX Control M would process JOB 1, then JOB 4, then JOB3, and finally JOB 2. (a LIFO queue).

żIs this the expected behavior for Unix Control M?

żAre there any configuration parameters that could change the LIFO into a FIFO queue? (in order to get control M to execute in the following order. JOB1, JOB2, JOB3, JOB4).

Thanks in advance!

???
If you really wanted to execute the jobs in a given order, you should chain them (that what ControlM is for (and more...). The "Time from..." is just for that:
Lets say Job3 is (still) running although job4 could run if chained it will wait till 3 has finished to run unless "time until" occured...
(Dont ask me details, that 5 years I havent touched ControlM...)

All the best
