Good question. I'm not sure.

My first thought is that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. If you're
not having problems like Matteo had, there is no reason to swap
those lines.

On the other hand, it makes more sense to me to execute :filetype
before :syntax, which is what I do in my own ~/.vimrc. That allows
me to make syntax-setting decisions based on 'filetype'.

I don't know why $VIMRUNTIME/vimrc_example.vim has those commands in
the order it does or if any plugins depend on that order.

Gary
