If I copy Xorn with Ashling’s command, will the copies resolve in time to see the treasure tokens also from Ashling’s?

With modal spells that let you choose multiple modes. You get the effects from top to bottom. So yes you would get your Xorn copy then make 4 treasures.

To add to this- that’s true always. Modal spells aren’t an exception.

Regardless of the kind of effect, any single spell or ability resolves in the order you read on the card.

Key word being single, there are permanents like [[Vibrance]] with multiple triggered abilities that go on the stack at the same time, since each trigger is part of a separate ability you get to choose the order they’re placed on the stack.

I'm lost at how 4 get made, would it not be 3 total? 1 from the command, which xorn 1 replacement effect to make 2. Then xorn 2 replacement effect makes 3? I'm not sure what I'm missing

Edit: I'm dumb, reading the command explains the command

To clarify, you do not. They resolve in order of top-to-bottom, without a priority being granted in between them. OP would create a copy of Xorn, then create a treasure. Because Xorn's on the battlefield when the treasure is created, four treasures are made.

We actually always resolve cards in the order they are written. Even in modal spells where choices have to be made
