What're the orders for equation solving?

When doing an equation in programming or real calculations, equation solving takes in a specific order. In a single equation, I use the PEMDAS/GEMDAS order, which goes:- Solve all operations that are grouped up by parentheses- - In the (grouped) equation, any values to be exponentiated will be exponentiated first
- - If multiplication goes first before division in the (grouped) equation, multiply the values to be multiplied, and vice versa
- - If addition goes first before subtraction in the (grouped) equation, add the values to be added, and vice versa
- I want to explore further though, see if there are any other orders out there so I can figure how I can solve other complex equations, like the modulo, which is not in PEMDAS for all I know.
**Question**: Are there any other equation solving orders that are considered valid by professional mathematicians?

- - Perform all operations that are grouped up by parentheses first before non-grouped ones; the more it's grouped will be performed first
