what is that number at the beginning of .cf files signify?
what is that number at the beginning of .cf files signify?
Does that impact SA's actual operation?
Or is that just for human organization of files (how they sort when
browsing them)?
When adding a custom-written .cf file that is made available to the
public, should some kind of naming convention be followed, even if just
for etiquette?

local configs would make most sense to name 99_filename.cf so all other
rules is loaded before custom configs, eg if config in 99_filename.cf
uses clear_something then other configs is discarded
sa is loading files in top down order based on filenames
maybe its needed for some rules to be in zz_something.cf to be really
last loaded
just remember to have pre files loadplugins and not do it in cf files

I think we'll leave it as "have to end in .pm" and if you get it to work
without doing so, more power to you ;-)

.pm part is not correct, since its entirely up to the pre files to load
what is needed even with files not ending in .pm :)
but use .pm for perl module files does not hurt either
