When the time is right...ask Evans if order of appeal matters when determining if a run scores or not. 

If the time/situation permits, present this case play to him:

R1, R3, one out, no count. The batter knocks a hit into the right field corner. R3 and R1 both score on the play, however, R1 missed 2B on his way passed it. The BR rounds first, but misses it, and is called safe on a close play at 2B. When play ceases, the defense (a) throws the ball to first base to appeal the BR missing it, and then throws the ball to 2B to appeal R1 missing it. (b) throws the ball to 2B to appeal R1 missing it, and then tags the BR to appeal him missing first base.

Per email from last December, order does not matter.

Just to be accurate, the order doesn't matter in the caseplay. In OBR per Wendelstedt if a force or missed 1B existed at the time of the miss it is a force/missed 1B base appeal no matter what the order of appeals. The order of appeals can matter when both a forced and non-forced base are being appealed.

Correct.

The question that came up in that caseplay was if the appeal on the trailing runner made the appeal on the preceding runner a time play by removing the force. Evans said it does not, and Wendelstedt also has the same opinion.
