[Glastonbury] routing tables

Here's one for all you networking guru's

In a routing table, should it be the most specific routes first such as:
192.168.2.4
192.168.2.3
....
192.174.3.0

or the other way round?

Also where do the default gateway and loopback addresses fit in? should they 
be at the top or the bottom?

I have found both examples with most specific first and ones with most 
specific last. I tried to look at my own route table to find it was empty 
(probably because I am using DHCP, or maybe I was looking at the wrong file)

Thanks for any help
