back when i had the illusion of using the onboard sound for something, just uncommenting the following lines (in /etc/modules.d/alsa (which gentoo puts into /etc/modules.conf after installing new modules (by calling modules-update))) and changing them to the module names was enough to affect the order:

## alias snd-card-0 snd-interwave
## alias snd-card-1 snd-ens1371

if youre trying to get one besides hw:0,0,0 to be 'default', id imagine theres a way to do that with asound[.conf/.rc]. otherwise it seems dubious (i mean that apps expect you to refer to your Apogee as hw:1 and Via as hw:0)
