Note for OP
+solved @user1 @user2... to close the thread when your doubt is solved. Mention the users who helped you solve the doubt. This will be added to their stats.ether does not come in suffix
order usually is PFG>MB>SUBS in numbering
ether is not PFG
Alkoxyalkene doesn't specify a priority. Lowest sum is always preferable so ether side numbering is better .
so both are correct
?
Ether could be treated as substituent and unsaturation is superior, so ig it would be 4-methoxy
