Traffic processing flow (order of operations). IPS before Firewall?

Question

Found a post from over 10 years ago, so thought I'd ask and get a more up-to-date reply! 
 I get alerts from the IPS saying it blocked an attack. I add the IP (if it's the same one repeatedly) to Network Protection/Firewall to drop from that IP, Any service, Any Destination. I even put the country in the Country Blocking list (From). 
 
 I still get IPS notifications from this IP. 
 
 Is IPS processing done before the Firewall processing? 
 
 Thanks, James.

Hello jlbrown ,

Thank you for reaching out to the community, If packet is accepted by the firewall it is directed to IPS & Application filter. It interfacing with IPS & Application filter for forwarded and proxy traffic
