The paper deals with the commutativity of probability revisions for purely atomic \(\sigma\)-algebras. The main result (Theorem 2.1) states that under some natural conditions on Bayes factors the probability revisions satisfy a so-called commutativity principle. This generalizes earlier results by \textit{H. Field} [Philosophy of Science 45, 361--367 (1978)], \textit{R. Jeffrey} [Philos. Studies 77, 97--102 (1995)], and \textit{C. Wagner} [Philosophy of Science 69, 266--278 (2002)].
