Of late, I've been designing sites that are more responsive and I've been using CSS media queries frequently. One pattern I noticed is that the order in which the media queries are defined actually matters. I didn't test it in every single browser, but just on Chrome. Is there an explanation for this behaviour? Sometimes it gets frustrating when your site doesn't work as it should and you are unsure if it's the query or the order in which the query is written.

最近，我一直在设计响应速度更快的网站，而且我经常使用CSS媒体查询。我注意到的一种模式是定义媒体查询的顺序实际上很重要。我没有在每个浏览器中测试它，只是在Chrome上测试。这种行为有解释吗？有时，当您的网站无法正常工作时会感到沮丧，并且您不确定它是查询还是查询的编写顺序。

Here's an example:

这是一个例子：

HTML

CSS:

CSS：

body{
font-size:1em; /* 16px */
}

.two{margin-top:2em;}



/* Media Queries */

@media (max-width: 480px) {
    .body{font-size: 0.938em;}

}
/* iphone */
@media only screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2) {
    body {font-size: 0.938em;}
}
/*if greater than 1280x800*/
@media (min-width: 1200px) {
       .two{margin-top:8em;}
            }
/*1024x600*/
@media (max-height: 600px) {
       .two{margin-top:4em;}
}
/*1920x1024*/
@media (min-height: 1020px) {
       .two{margin-top:9em;}
}
/*1366x768*/
@media (min-height: 750px) and (max-height: 770px) {
       .two{margin-top:7em;}
}

However, If I wrote the query for 1024x600 in the last, the browser would ignore it and apply the margin value specified in the starting of the CSS (margin-top:2em).

但是，如果我在最后编写1024x600的查询，浏览器将忽略它并应用CSS开头指定的边距值（margin-top：2em）。

/* Media Queries - Re-arranged version */

@media (max-width: 480px) {
    .body{font-size: 0.938em;}
}
/* iphone */
@media only screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2) {
    body {font-size: 0.938em;}
}
/*if greater than 1280x800*/
@media (min-width: 1200px) {
       .two{margin-top:8em;}
}
/*1920x1024*/
@media (min-height: 1020px) {
       .two{margin-top:9em;}
}
/*1366x768*/
@media (min-height: 750px) and (max-height: 770px) {
       .two{margin-top:7em;}
}
 /*1024x600*/
@media (max-height: 600px) {
       .two{margin-top:4em;}
}

If my understanding of media queries are correct, the order shouldn't matter, but it seems it does. What could be the reason?

如果我对媒体查询的理解是正确的，那么顺序应该无关紧要，但似乎确实如此。可能是什么原因？

}

@media (max-width: 400px) {
