If multiple global plugins are created through KongClusterPlugin, then they will get executed for every request. How to define the sequence of global plugin execution like if I want to execute security plugins first followed by rate limit and logging plugins.

Hello,

Plugins are executed based on their defined priorities, see [Plugin Development - Implementing Custom Logic - v2.4.x | Kong - Open-Source API Management and Microservice Management](https://docs.konghq.com/enterprise/2.4.x/plugin-development/custom-logic/#plugins-execution-order)

Auth plugins are given higher priority than logging/rate limiting plugins.
