Difference between `override convenience` init and `convenience override init`

Using Swift
1

Is there a difference between override convenience init and convenience override init?

As far as I can tell there is no difference in behaviour or at the call site.

Nope. Declaration modifiers can always be placed in any order, like attributes (though many organizations have style guides dictating a certain order). Good question!

Didn't know you can override convenience initializers...How did you do it?

You can't! I'm overriding a designated initializer with a convenience init.

So it better I guess if we use convenience override init to convey that this is a convenience init that has the same signature as the designated initializer in the superclass.
