It does and it doesn't. My previous statement was about the backup files I
normally experience, which are like 'dired.el~'; I prefer seeing these files
before the main file. I don't run into files like 'dired.el.~1~' often, as I
prefer not to use that style. If I did run into them often, my first reaction
was I like them segregated (as in the above) even at the cost of putting them
out of "order". But now that you mention it, I suppose I should have gained more
experience with this situation before expressing a preference. As the situation
is unusual (at least for me), it's not likely I will gain experience with it any
time soon. Anyway, most likely the situation is rare in general and is not worth
worrying about.
