While you can force the order with the proper index=xx

What? This works here for the last three years, was is all just a dream?
Of course the solution is to 'reserve' the higher indices for the usb-audio
stuff...
The proper fix is to not use the index (a number) when
addressing the
card but use the name of the card. That will never change across
reboots. So, instead of "hw:0" use "hw:NAME" where NAME is what is
shown
between square brackets in the output of cat /proc/asound/cards
The you only have to face apps that don't allow the selection of the soundcard
and apps that don't handle spaces in device-names.
