In which sequence does the code present in the filter section is executed.

I think it is not being executed sequentially ie the Order in which it is written in the file.  
I know that mutate has its own order of execution which it follows.

Please share your thoughts, anything is appreciated.

Filters are executed in the order they are written. As you say, the execution of options within a mutate filter is fixed.
