Hungarian and Austro-Hungarian medals

[Dave Danner]

Here's a question that's somewhat off-topic, but close enough that someone here might know the answer. What was the order of precedence for Austro-Hungarian decorations on Hungarian post-war medal bars? Would a Hungarian officer or NCO place his Imperial awards after his Hungarian kingdom awards, or would they fit into the Hungarian order of precedence? For example, would an Austrian Military Merit Cross rank ahead of a Hungarian Signum Laudis; would a Karl Signum Laudis awarded in 1918 precede a Hungarian one awarded later? Any thoughts?
