| 3   | /etc/idwt/config.d/\*.yml          | Overrides previous file's keys, appending lists | Files are applied in alphabetical order, higher character (z is higher compared to a) having higher priority |
| 4   | /usr/share/idwt/config.yml         | Overrides previous file's keys, appending lists |                                                                                                              |

The configuration parser bases every step off the lower number priority file location.
