In your example, a route needs to be permitted on each filter, route-map and as-path access-list to be allowed to be advertised. The order is irrelevant.

The order of preference varies based on whether the attributes are applied for inbound updates or outbound updates.
For inbound updates the order of preference is:
route-map
filter-list
prefix-list, distribute-list
For outbound updates the order of preference is:
prefix-list, distribute-list
filter-list
route-map

Hi Group

When filtering in BGP, is there any order in which the following filters are applied.

filter-list
prefix-list
route-map
unsuppress-map
etc....

I understand its better to include all kinds of filterign in a single route-map, but is situation arises where its required to configure like
neighbor 1.1.1.1 filter-list 10
neighbor 1.1.1.1 prefix-list 20 out
neighbor 1.1.1.1 route-map rm-name out

what would be the order in which each filter is applied...
