Hey everybody...

Do the following sentences have the same meaning? Is one of them non-
sense?

Select new predefined messages.
Select predefined new messages.

Thanks

They probably mean the same although the order in the second one seems
more natural. But the real question is: What do they actually mean?

A bit of context might be useful to answer that question.

Hey Einde O'Callaghan,

I think that the first one seems more natural when pronounced because
you have the description before the noun(messages) Anyways yeah the
second way has a more complicating way of being articulate. I strongly
recommend that you go with the first one because it is simpler and
sounds more natural. Yes you were correct when you assumed that they
both have the same meaning and that they both make sense.  As too the
meaning, I'm not sure positive of what it means.

This is the definition for Predefined from Merriam-Websters online
dictionary. 1 a (1): earlier than : prior to : before <Precambrian>
<prehistoric> (2): preparatory or prerequisite to <premedical> b: in
advance : beforehand

As too the meaning, I'm not sure positive of what it means but my
guess is that it means  select a new... an already written message.
I have one question though where does this excerpt come from?
Are these some file commands?
