Stateflow    

Specifying Activation Order for Parallel States

You specify the activation order of parallel states by arranging them from top-to-bottom and left-to-right in the state diagram. Stateflow activates the states in the order in which you arrange them. In particular, a top-level parallel state activates before all the states whose top edges reside at a lower level in the state diagram. A top-level parallel state also activates before any other state that resides to the right of it at the same vertical level in the diagram. The same top-to-bottom, left-to-right activation order applies to parallel substates of a state.
