A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

I have a config file that I add using `setFrom`:

```MyRules:
  Rule1:
    active: false # true by default
  Rule2:
    active: true
```
and then another config file that I add using `setFrom` after the first one:

```MyRules:
  Rule2:
    active: false
```
I'm seeing violations for Rule1 even though I disabled it. I thought that the configs are merged sequentially, so shouldn't it stay disabled, or am I missing something?

`setFrom()` removes all previous files, did you want `from()` which adds?

Still seeing the issue after switching to `from` :thinking_face:

actually come to think of it. I'm not sure if `FileCollection`s are inherently ordered or not

In that case, how is the order determined for merging config files?

as far as I can tell, the detekt gradle plugin passes the config files to the detekt cli entry point in whatever order the filecollection iterates in

I'm using `Project.files()` so I'll have to check it out. I'd imagine that detekt would have some form of merging them in a stable order though, and I'd assume that was in insertion order.
