order for encoding x86 instruction prefix bytes

Question

I know that x86 instructions can have a maximum of 4 bytes of prefixes, e.g Lock, rep, segment overrides etc.

Is there any particular order in which they should appear,

Answer 1

The architecture volume of the intel developer manuals details the layout at lenght, however, from what I remember last time I read it, the order for most didn't matter, except the REX/REX.W prefix which must occupy the slot closest to the start of the actual instruction bytes (aka it takes the slot most on the right)
