Why does my URP renderer feature run before another that should be first?

URP renderer features execute in the list order shown in the renderer asset. Drag entries up/down to set priority. Names don't influence order; only their position.

What about Render Pass Event?

Render Pass Event determines stage (BeforeRendering, AfterRenderingOpaques, etc.) within a frame. Among features at the same event, list order decides which runs first.

Why does Frame Debugger show different order?

Frame Debugger shows actual draw call sequence after URP packs passes. Pass dependencies and event-stage groupings can reorder visually but list order at the same event holds.

Fix: URP Renderer Features Wrong Order

Quick answer: Renderer features execute top-down in the list. Drag entries to reorder. Use Render Pass Event for cross-feature stage placement.

Outline feature should run after toon shading. List has them in the wrong order; outline drew under toon.

The Fix

URP Renderer Asset (Forward / Forward+):
  Renderer Features (drag to reorder):
    [0] Outline (Render Pass Event = AfterRenderingTransparents)
    [1] BloomCustom (After Rendering)
    [2] Vignette (After Rendering)

// Same event = list order decides; different events = event order decides

Drop into the slot you want. URP iterates the list once per pass event, in order.

Verifying

Frame Debugger: outline draws after toon. Disable outline: scene goes back to plain toon.

“List order matters. Drag to reorder. Stages match.”
