2 > F2 > F2 (archers fall back 10 paces).I just found that spamming this command when you have a lot of cavalry helps to avoid the bug where they dismount when they cannot move. at the start of battle is f1 > f2 (follow me, since everyone is selected by default at start of battle you tell everyone to follow you).
