The Baseline Check is always enabled. It makes various small checks that reveal a great deal of tabular errors. You can create an empty Checklist to see the baseline check scope:

There is no exact order in which those errors are revealed as it's highly optimized. One should consider the Baseline Check as one unit of validation.
Check a table for basic errors This check is enabled by default for any `validate` function run.
