Description:
While handling Bug #78879, it was not clear from the operator precedence documentation page on how MySQL server evaluates operators with equal precedence in an expression i.e  whether MySQL server evaluates operators with equal precedence from left to right within an expression or evaluates operators with equal precedence from right to left within an expression

Thank you for your bug report. This issue has been addressed in the documentation. The updated documentation will appear on our website shortly.

For operators that occur at the same precedence level within an
expression, evaluation proceeds left to right, with the exception
that assignments evaluate right to left.
