SEO – Does the positions of the URLs in google webmaster tools sitemaps affect the crawl of googlebot?
Michael O asked:
eg. If i were to position urls at the top of the sitemap, googlebot will more likely crawl the urls which are at the top positions first.. Is it true??

googlebot is just a piece of software so it will always follow a logical order, those urls place at the top of the sitemap will get spidered first and those towards the bottom, later on. Im not sure if there is a limit to the amount of urls submitted or a point at which the google bot gives up but I would defintiely make sure your priority pages are nearer the top of the list.
