Visual Studio settings pecking order

What is the order of precedence for Visual Studio settings?

I know of several areas that Visual Studio settings come from, but it's not clear what to expect for precedence. It would also be helpful to be able to see where a particular setting is being taken from.

For example, I have both a .editorconfig file and a Visual Studio settings item (i.e., from Tools->Options) that specify tabs vs spaces settings for code. Sometimes files converted to use tabs and other times they're converted to use spaces, all in the same project, all during the same working session. Ideally I'd be able to specify values in .editorconfig and that would be of highest precedence. Can I make that happen?
