Documentation clarification request regarding guaranteed ACSIL behavior

Do GetBidMarketLimitOrdersForPrice / GetAskMarketLimitOrdersForPrice return orders in queue-priority order (front of queue at index 0)? And is that ordering guaranteed/maintained across order modifications — i.e., does the array reflect CME's priority re-queuing when an order's quantity is increased?

Does s_MarketDepthEntry (from GetBidMarketDepthEntryAtLevel) expose the exchange's per-level number of orders for CME symbols — and if not, is DE.Quantity the complete level quantity including orders below the 3-lot MBO transmission minimum?

Thank you!

For these ACSIL functions:
GetBidMarketLimitOrdersForPrice / GetAskMarketLimitOrdersForPrice

The first order in the array, is associated with the lowest numbered order ID from the exchange. Order IDs do not change on order modifications. The lowest numbered order ID should be the one that has a queue position, which will fill earlier than ones after it.

Order modifications have no effect on this.

The quantity you see for market depth data are the actual quantities. That data is not filtered at all. It is actual. And the exchange only provides market depth data for the first 10 levels. The remaining levels are generated from market by order data, but that data is not filtered for the creation of market depth data.
