The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

How Bayes factors change scientific practice (2016, methodology): “A superordinate theory that specifies a rank ordering of means in different conditions can also be tested with a Bayes factor using the methods of Hoijtink (2011). For example, a theory that specified that the mean for the first and second conditions should be the same but higher than those from a t”
Bayesian benefits with JASP (2017, unknown): “This information can be incorporated by updating the prior distribution through the order constraint ρ ≥ 0, such that we assume that each value of ρ between 0 and 1 is equally plausible a priori (Hoijtink, 2011; Hoijtink et al., 2008; Klugkist, Laudy, & Hoijtink, 2005).”
The Psychological Well-Being of Early Identified Gifted Children (2016, methodology): “The effect size is incorporated into the BF in the sense that a larger effect size results in a larger BF (Kluytmans, Van de Schoot, Mulder, & Hoijtink, 2012).”
Small Sample Size Solutions (2020, methodology): “Alternatively, these expectations can be evaluated directly by formulating informative or order-constrained hypotheses, see Hoijtink (2012) or Chapter 11 (Vanbrabant & Rosseel).”
