+# How to Order Quality Sources
+
+The current logic for comparing downloads is **Quality Trumps All**, where the qualities are set from lowest (*bottom*) to highest (*top*) by default.
+
+In some cases, it might be preferred to have the option to create a Quality Profile to downgrade your existing library/releases.
+
+Examples:
+
+- Downgrade a `Remux-2160p` to a `Bluray-2160p`, `WEB-2160p`, `Remux-1080p`, `Bluray-1080p`, `WEB-1080p` or even to a 720p variant etc.
+- Downgrade a `Bluray-1080p` to a `WEB-1080p` or even to a 720p variant etc.
+- etc.
+
+To accomplish this, you must change the order of the Quality Sources in your Quality Profile.
+
+!!! warning "Qualities higher in the list are more preferred even if not checked. Qualities within the same group are equal. Only checked qualities are wanted."
+
+## Current Logic
+
+Here, you will see the current logic to understand how the possible downloads are compared.

+
+## Change the Order of the Quality Sources
+
+We will use Radarr for these examples, but it works the same way as Sonarr.
+
+To change the order of the Quality Sources, go to `Settings` => `Profiles`.
+
+### Default Order
+
+In the following screenshot, you will see a default order of your Quality Sources where the highest Quality would be a `Remux-2160p` and the lowest quality a `WEB-720p`. As always, the upgrade order would be from bottom to top. (*direction of the arrow*)
+
+![!Default Order Qualities](images/order-qualities-default.png)
+
+- Remux-2160p
+- Bluray-2160p
+- WEB-2160p
+- Remux-1080p
+- Bluray-1080p
+- WEB-1080p
+- Bluray-720p
+- WEB-720p
+
+### Downgrade Order
+
+Now, we will show a Quality Profile using the so-called reverse order of the Quality Sources, which we can use to downgrade from high Quality to lower Quality.
+
+All we need to do is to change the order of the Quality Sources in your Quality Profile.
+
+In the following screenshot, you will see a downgrade order of your Quality Sources where the highest Quality would be a `WEB-720p` and the lowest quality a `Remux-2160p`. As always, the upgrade order would be from bottom to top. (*direction of the arrow*)
+
+![!Downgrade Order Qualities](images/order-qualities-downgrade.png)
+
+- WEB-720p
+- Bluray-720p
+- WEB-1080p
+- Bluray-1080p
+- Remux-1080p
+- WEB-2160p
+- Bluray-2160p
+- Remux-2160p
+
+Don't forget to change the `Upgrade Until` to your preferred download Quality Source.
+
+## Tips and Common Issues
+
+### Order matters even if not checked
+
+!!! warning "Qualities higher in the list are more preferred even if not checked. Qualities within the same group are equal. Only checked qualities are wanted."
+
+The order listed in the profile matters even if the Quality is not checked. For example, if you have a 2160p version but want the 720p version, Radarr will reject all 720p results because 1080p and 2160p are listed as higher than 720p even though 1080p was not checked.
+

+
+### Move your preferred Quality to the top
+
+Qualities at the top of the list will appear first in manual searches, so it's recommended that the selected Quality be moved to the top of the list.
