Question Joining Land: Which parcel settings end up being on the new parcel?

When joining two parcels which parcel settings will be on the new parcel? How does SL decide?

Thanks.

It's either directional or based on which selection has more sqm. I will always choose two 4sqm parcels *first* from the parcel i want to keep properties for and shift drag to include one 4sqm square on the second parcel. That always transfers the settings from the first to second parcels.

I've combined a bunch of smaller ones with my big parcel, and each time the big parcel always wins.

I've also found that the new parcel takes the settings of the largest of the original parcels, though I haven't played around with land for a while. Someone told me that the age of parcel (settings?) also played a part (oldest = dominant), but I don't know if there is any truth in that.

I always remember it as the opposite of prim linking. With prims, the last selected is the "root." With land, the first selected is the "primary."

LL fixed it after Phil's findings to make it more logical and the bigger parcel should win now, I say should because I don't want to suggest it's guaranteed and mess up someone's parcels!

Every time I've ever joined land, sometimes several at once, the last selected parcel's settings have been dominant.

Another note is that autoreturn is always set to zero on the joined parcel.
