Question: What determines the execution order of plugins

[elidupuis]

Just curious if there's any way to control the execution order of plugins... I ran into a conflict where one plugin was trying target elements by id but the removeAttrs plugin had already been run—and it was configured to remove the id attribute! Obviously, the order the plugins are executed would make a difference in this case...

Plugins are being run in order they're defined in config. By default it's defined in .svgo.yml.

Thanks for clarifying, @GreLI. Turns out that my issue was actually the cleanupIDs plugin running before the removeElementsByAttr—which I had configured to remove an element by ID but by that time the ID had already been removed.

Easy fix was to explicitly declare the cleanupIDs plugin in my config after the removeElementsByAttr plugin.

I wonder if it's worth giving removeElementsByAttr a little more priority in the order of execution... Seems like there could definitely be conflicts with cleanupAttrs and cleanupIDs.
