Re: Why is the Validation Filters Array Processed Backwards and Returns Conservatively?

Actually, it runs them in "reading order" but doesn't stop when
there's an error, so the latest error message overrides the earlier
ones.

You can force the validation to stop when a specific rule fails by
including the 'last' => true parameter in the rule definition.
