Can I control the order of _local_ repos in artifactory?

Im using Artifactory for Nuget.

In my virtual repo I have two local repos and one public (cached) repo. Clients will be configured to use that virtual repo.

I might have packages that overlap between the two local repos- what happens then? When a client pulls nuget packages or does a nuget restore.

It looks like I can set the order of local repos in the virtual repo (at least in the UI I can move them below and above each other). If I have the same package in both local repos will artifactory only return the package from the local repo I have configured to be first in the list?

The Virtual Repository page is quite clear:

The Included Repositories section displays the effective list of actual repositories included in this virtual repository.
If any of the available repositories you have selected are themselves virtual repositories, then the Included Repositories section will display the local and remote repositories included within them.
The Included Repository list is automatically updated in case any of the nested virtual repositories change.

The search/resolution order when requesting artifacts from a virtual repository is always:

  • Local repositories
  • Remote repository caches
  • Remote repositories themselves.

The order within these categories is controlled by the order they are presented in the Selected Repositories list.
