I'll give an example
As you can see from my sig block I'm a Radio Ham, 
I filter personal Ham mail in to one folder, I also subscribe to several mailing lists
which are primarily for Hams. It often occurs that someone who is on my Ham personal list answers or posts
in one of the mailing lists, so depending on the order of the filters it will often go in the wrong folder,
if a multiple posting is made , ie. the use of CC.
I could expand the filters, which would really increase filtering time, I would prefer not to do that.
