user30069: Pardon the noob question – If I have say a "brightness" effect and a "sharpen" effect appearing in this order (first is on top of the other), will "brightness" be applied first, then "sharpen"? or the other way around?

user24627: Yes, it works the way you suspected it would. Applied effects on a layer work from top to bottom, same with adjustment-layers and layer-modes applying from top to bottom.
