How does one control the order programs run in ISY?

The total value 2^6-1 (63) can trigger a program. Wouldn't need any boolishness on the right side of the logical trigger.
If
     $sBitTotal = 63
Then

Agreed.  But if we can't test which bit is set or which bit is not set it's not any more useful to do it bitwise

...in the other posters example in this thread count 1 - 6 is no better than bitwise...  if a program didn't run, or ran multiple times in either case that's not detectable efficiently using the tools we have.   it could be ineffeciently done using more variables and more programs but at that point its not worth using the variable in a bitwise manner to begin with.

Sure to break it down you would require a program to break it into separate flags and then we may as well just keep them all separate and use a trigger program like:

If
     $sVar1
   AND $sVar2
   AND $sVar3
   AND $sVar4
   AND $sVar5
Then
   .....

Not as boolean person pretty but it could work
