Thank you for your bug report.
I think  latter way is surely the better and more debianish way. Also numbering 
should be the way to go.

I think it will take us a while to implement this, but we will very likely do 
that.
Detecting multiple vhosts and offering user to split in multiple files would be 
good, but not a cure for every desease, as some linux application stuffs 
configuration outside <virtualhost> tags. At some point, manual intervention 
would be necessary anyway.

Marking this as wishlist.

Support virtual host order

Status in rapache: Confirmed

Bug description:
Supporting many virtual hosts on the same server often requires use of 
wildcards. In this case, the order of virtual hosts matters. For example, a web 
application which serves multiple domains simultaneously might be configured 
with a ServerName of * and if other domains are also to be served by the same 
Apache server they must be loaded prior to this one.

This requirement may be even more necessary on a development machine where many 
different sites must be active which wouldn't exist on a single production 
server.

One solution to forcing order is to place all virtual hosts in a single .conf 
file. Another is to prepend an order code to the vhost conf files (e.g., 
1-siteone, 2-sitetwo) so they are parsed in the required order.

Rapache obviously does not (yet) support the former. I see only a single vhost 
in Rapache for my single .conf file with many vhosts defined. Perhaps the 
latter method can be used if order is specified.
