That’s depend on how the OS sort the file names. Windows for example does some 
weird stuff. It might be better to build your list files and pass it as a 
parameter instead of relay on *.tif

Steve,

The last source mentionned in the VRT will take precedence over the previous
overlapping ones.

I'm not sure however that the wildcard expansion will guarantee that the files
