Hi Bernd.
I adjusted the newsitem inthe overlay scheduler.
Now the scheduler looks fiffrent, ( See pic)
I don't mind, my question is just this. Will the commercial break start before the news? News has PRIO 1, Adds do have PRIO2.

The 'Priority' defines the order in which overlays are used/executed in case multiple overlays start at exactly the same time (0, 1, 2, 3, ...)!
An overlay starts at exactly the time, if the 'Start Time' AND the 'Show in Advance' value do have the exact same values, resp. result to the exact same effective time.

Assuming both your overlays do have the same Start Time (e.g. 12:00:00) and the same Show in Advance value (e.g. 90 sec.) set,
then the overlay with Prio.=1 would come before the overlay with the Prio.=2.

If you have set the 'Combine parallel Overlays' option (in the general settings, section Scripts/Scheduler) then all entries would be combined to one overaly, with the same order: first the tracks resulting from the overlay with Prio.=1 and then all tracks resulting from the overlay with Prio.=2.
