The information in this article applies to:
Are capabilities in the capabilityTable field of TerminalCapabilitySet listed in order of preference?
No, neither the order or entry number indicate preference. In the following terminal capability set, the EP prefers to receive H.263 over H.261, G.723.1 over G.711, and G.711 A-Law over U-Law. The preference is expressed in the capability descriptor, not in the order or according to the entry number of capabilities in the capability table. Although there is only one capability descriptor here, there could be several. Unlike the entry numbers for capability table entries, low values for capability descriptor numbers indicate preferred modes.
