Precedence of Spring boot customize configuration

A note from book Spring boot in Action, 1st edition by Craig Walls , chapter 3:

There are, in fact, several ways to set properties for a Spring Boot application. Spring Boot will draw properties from several property sources, including the following:

1. Command-line arguments
2. JNDI attributes from java:comp/env
3. JVM system properties
4. Operatiing system environment variables
5. Randomly generated values for properties prefixed with random.*  (referenced when setting other properties, such as ${random.long})
6. An application.properties or application.yml file outside of the application
7. An application.properties or application.yml file packaged inside of the application
8. Property sources specified by @PropertySource
9. Default properties

This list is in order of precedence. That is, any properties set from a source higher in the list will override the same property set on a source lower in the list.

 This can be verified in Spring boot source code. I will try to dig and document it when I go to that.
