Finally, if the system encounters earnings/deductions with the same levels, categories, and types, it calculates them in the numerical or alphabetical order dictated by their earning/deduction codes. For instance, all other criteria being equal, earning/deduction 42 would be calculated before earning/deduction 59, and earning/deduction HOURLY would be calculated before earning/deduction SALARY.
