Explanation

Azure Firewall processes rules based on rule collection group priority first, then rule collection priority, and finally rule type order: DNAT rules are processed before Network rules, which are processed before Application rules. Within the same priority level, lower priority numbers are processed first (e.g., priority 100 before priority 200). Rule1 is processed last because it is an Application rule or has the lowest priority, while Rule2 is first due to being a DNAT rule or having the highest priority number (lowest value), following Azure Firewall's strict hierarchical processing order.
