+This defines a *stack* of handlers, where each handler can define
+a ``priority`` (default ``0``) to control its position in the stack.
+
+Handlers with a higher priority are called earlier, while those with the same priority keep
+the order in which they are defined:

 .. note::
 
-    If you want to override the ``monolog`` configuration via another config
-    file, you will need to redefine the entire ``handlers`` stack. The configuration
-    from the two files cannot be merged because the order matters and a merge does
-    not allow you to control the order.
+    When adding handlers in additional configuration files, it's recommended to set
+    an explicit priority to ensure the desired order.
