Is there a reason you need to change it?  The only reason you ever needed 

to change it back in the day was to put pass before alert, but since we've 

already done that for you.... 

putting alert first will just process alert rules before any other rules.  

(If you have other rules, which you probably don't if this is a new install)

Joel,

No special reason to change it. I was just thinking if it would be useful 

for me.

Thanks for your explanation. I understand the order is important, but the 

default order is ok.

Regards,

Josep Pujadas
