You're right. They go by log number after all preferences have been filled. I looked it up online:

Info copied below:
LOG GENERATION
1. Once all paper applications have been entered, the Housing Connect system
randomizes both online and paper applications, which generates an electronic
log. The randomization and log generation generally takes approximately ten
business days.
2. The electronic log will be made available to the Marketing Agent for download
from the Housing Connect website. The Marketing Agent will work off of this log
to evaluate applicants and select residents.
4-4 Applicant Evaluation and Resident Selection
The Marketing Agent will have primary responsibility for applicant evaluation and
resident selection. The Marketing Agent must select all prospective residents from the
lottery log in numerical order, with exceptions only for permitted set-asides and
preferences, which are outlined below. (See Section 4-4.B, “Order of Processing,” or
Section 5-1, “Set-Asides and Preferences.”)
B. ORDER OF PROCESSING
1. The first applications that the Marketing Agent processes from the log and
submits to the Agency for review must be those that meet the approved setaside
categories or preferences. For more information on processing of
preferences, see Section 5-1, “Set-Asides and Preferences.”
2. Set-aside and preference categories must be processed in the following order:
(1) People with disabilities (5% mobility; 2% vision/hearing)
(2) Community Board residents
(3) New York City municipal employees
3. Applications containing content entered by the applicant in a language other
than English must be translated before being processed. The Marketing Agent is
responsible for arranging professional translation services.
4. When processing applicants for disability set-asides, New York City residents
must be processed before non-residents. If there are insufficient New York City
residents to meet the set-aside requirement, the Marketing Agent may then
process non-residents to fulfill the set-aside. Note: After initial lease-up, the New
York City resident preference no longer applies.
5. After fulfilling the Community Board, municipal employee, and other preference
categories if applicable, applicants in the general pool who reside in New York
City must be processed before non-residents.
6. Only after all set-asides and preferences have been fulfilled may non-set-aside or
non-preference applications be submitted to the Agency for review. This is to
prevent non-set-aside or non-preference applicants from being processed for
units that are intended for applicants eligible for set-asides or preferences. With
MARKETING HANDBOOK, SECTION 4: OUTLINE OF PROCEDURES
4-4: Applicant Evaluation and Resident Selection
Page 24 of 58
Agency approval, the screening of non-set-aside or non-preference applicants
may begin prior to achieving all set-asides or preferences.
7. If the Marketing Agent is unable to fulfill any set-aside or preference categories,
it must contact the Agency for further instructions.
8. The Marketing Agent must offer units only to applicants who meet eligibility
requirements, and only in numbered order from the lottery log (after first
processing applicants for set-asides and preferences), for whom units of
appropriate size are available.
9. If an applicant meets eligibility requirements for more than one available unit
type in a project, the Marketing Agent must make the applicant aware of all
available unit types for which the applicant is eligible, and offer to the applicant
the opportunity to select the unit type.
10. If units of appropriate size are unavailable to an eligible applicant as such
applicant is being reviewed, the applicant’s name will remain on the log until an
appropriate unit becomes available or until the log expires.
11. Applications should be processed for submission to the Agency in groups of 50 to
prevent getting too far ahead in the lottery and potentially bypassing eligible
applicants who are placed earlier on the log and appeal successfully within the
two week appeal timeframe. Even within those groups of 50, attention must be
given to remaining available units based on bedroom sizes and (for mixedincome
buildings) income levels to allow for such appeals.
12. An applicant to whom a unit has been offered must be given a reasonable
specific amount of time to respond to the offer, and not less than five business
days for a lease signing, before the Marketing Agent can proceed to offer a unit
to the next eligible applicant on the log.
13. Depending on the number of applications received, lease-up may be completed
before all applicants on the log have been processed or contacted.
