An object should not have more than one trigger.

The trigger should have one job.

If you have multiple triggers on an object, it can be confusing to determine which trigger will fire first. This can lead to unexpected and surprising results, and we all hate surprises when our code runs.

Multiple triggers may also duplicate effects or cause other bugs.

Instead, have the trigger kick off one job, and then have that job call everything else in the order you desire. This leads to a much more predictable outcome.
