Unfortunately, thats not the way snort evaluates the rules. Depending on
the Snort version the rules are reordered differently.
Snort always reorders the rules to increase its performance. It
practically builds its rule engine on the fly. If you are using Snort
2.x there is a whitepaper on the Snort homepage explaining the
multirule-engine.
