hi ther,
I load my VH's from a directory with a number of VH's

is it possible to define which one is the default one?

it seems to select the first in alphabetical order.

I asume you have one config that pulls in the VH's configs via an
include statement. Something like:

Include /etc/httpd/vhosts/*.conf

In that case they are indeed loaded in alphabetical order, as that is
the way the OS sorts files by default.

I always put my default VirtualHost directly into the httpd.conf file, just before the Include line.

This way there is no question about which directive is the default, and I am not dependent on filename order.

I'd say this way it's always unclear which is the default vhost. As you have to dig through <config_file> instead of just issuing a `cat /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/*` or just `ls`.

As the example shows, there's also no easy way of disabling the vhost on-the-fly  (ie: rm <symlink>). ;-)
