Filter execute order in asp.net web api

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21628467/order-of-execution-with-multiple-filters-in-web-api

Some things to note here:

1. Filters get executed in the following order for an action: Globally Defined Filters -> Controller-specific Filters -> Action-specific Filters.
2. Authorization Filters -> Action Filters -> Exception Filters

3. Now the problem that you seem to mention is related to having multiple filters of the same kind (ex: Multiple ActionFilterAttribute decorated on a controller or an action. This is the case which would not guarantee the order as its based on reflection.). For this case, there is a way to do it in Web API using custom implementation of System.Web.Http.Filters.IFilterProvider. I have tried the following and did some testing to verify it. It seems to work fine. You can give it a try and see if it works as you expected.

4. 如果有多个global action filters,这些filters的执行顺序按照config.Filters.Add的先后顺序来触发

// Start clean by replacing with filter provider for global configuration.
// For these globally added filters we need not do any ordering as filters are
// executed in the order they are added to the filter collection
config.Services.Replace(typeof(IFilterProvider), new System.Web.Http.Filters.ConfigurationFilterProvider());
 
// Custom action filter provider which does ordering
config.Services.Add(typeof(IFilterProvider), new OrderedFilterProvider());

public class OrderedFilterProvider : IFilterProvider
{
    public IEnumerable<FilterInfo> GetFilters(HttpConfiguration configuration, HttpActionDescriptor actionDescriptor)
    {
        // controller-specific
        IEnumerable<FilterInfo> controllerSpecificFilters = OrderFilters(actionDescriptor.ControllerDescriptor.GetFilters(), FilterScope.Controller);
 
        // action-specific
        IEnumerable<FilterInfo> actionSpecificFilters = OrderFilters(actionDescriptor.GetFilters(), FilterScope.Action);
 
        return controllerSpecificFilters.Concat(actionSpecificFilters);
    }
 
    private IEnumerable<FilterInfo> OrderFilters(IEnumerable<IFilter> filters, FilterScope scope)
    {
        return filters.OfType<IOrderedFilter>()
                        .OrderBy(filter => filter.Order)
                        .Select(instance => new FilterInfo(instance, scope));
    }
}

//NOTE: Here I am creating base attributes which you would need to inherit from.
public interface IOrderedFilter : IFilter
{
    int Order { get; set; }
}
 
public class ActionFilterWithOrderAttribute : ActionFilterAttribute, IOrderedFilter
{
    public int Order { get; set; }
}
 
public class AuthorizationFilterWithOrderAttribute : AuthorizationFilterAttribute, IOrderedFilter
{
    public int Order { get; set; }
}
 
public class ExceptionFilterWithOrderAttribute : ExceptionFilterAttribute, IOrderedFilter
{
    public int Order { get; set; }
}
