Auditd picks up the rules in /etc/audit/audit.rules  That in turn is compiled 
by augenrules which uses the order as given from "ls -v".

You can use "ls -v" to figure out how to make a rule that is ahead of 10-base-
config.rules. even 10-a.rule should go first. Or you can rename 10-base-
config.rules to be a higher number.
