- <p>Apart from <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#directory"><Directory></a></code>, each group is processed in
- the order that they appear in the configuration files. <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#directory"><Directory></a></code> (group 1 above)
- is processed in the order shortest directory component to longest.
- So for example, <code><Directory "/var/web/dir"></code> will
- be processed before <code><Directory
- "/var/web/dir/subdir"></code>. If multiple <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#directory"><Directory></a></code> sections apply

+ <ul>
+ <li>Apart from <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#directory"><Directory></a></code>, within each group the sections are
+ processed in the order they appear in the configuration files.
+ For example, a request for <em>/foo</em> will match
+ <code><Location "/foo/bar"></code> and
+ <code><Location "/foo"></code> (group 4 in this case):
+ both sections will be evaluated
+ but in the order they appear in the configuration files.</li>
