# Update redirect/rewrite rule priority

`PATCH /services/{serviceId}/routes/{routeId}`

Update the priority for a particular redirect/rewrite rule.

To apply redirect/rewrite rules to an incoming request, Render starts from the rule with priority `0` and applies the first encountered rule that matches the request's path (if any).

Render increments the priority of other rules by `1` as necessary to make space for the updated rule.
