I understand roughly how the cross matching works but have a question regarding it and queued money.

When there is a large amount on one side of the book and it shows as an inverse bet if you were to place a bet on the inverse side where there is no real money at the inverse odds but it is a slighty better price do you get matched first.

So a Lay 1.27 shows as an inverse for 4.6 but a back at 4.60 is slighty lower odds and thus a better price for someone else to take.

I hope i have explained myself.

Its like a paradox the cross matching engine.
Although the maths behind it are quite simple, they dont always transpire through to the exchange prices.
The last race (Leicester 14:30) is a good example of that, I think there were three under 2 and the correspnding cross matched odds were out of kilter with what they should have been
