Priority
--------
Priority is a relatively new addition to the cookbook. It gives you the ability to (somewhat) specify the relative order of entries. By default, the priority is calculated for you as follows:

82. 127.0.0.1
81. ::1
80. 127.0.0.0/8
60. IPV4
20. IPV6
00. default
Priority is a relatively new addition to the cookbook. It gives you the ability to (somewhat) specify the relative order of entries. Entries with a higher number will be placed closer to the top of the file than those with a lower number. By default, the priority is calculated for you as follows:

<table>
<tr>
<th>Priority</th>
<th>Host</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>82</td>
<td>127.0.0.1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>81</td>
<td>::1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>80</td>
<td>127.0.0.0/8</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>60</td>
<td>IPV4</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>20</td>
<td>IPV6</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>0</td>
<td>default</td>
</tr>
</table>

However, you can override it using the `priority` option.
