order of matching rules

[archana rao <archuatdavis () yahoo com>]

The site 
http://www.infosys.tuwien.ac.at/snort-ng/
mentions that "For some strange reason, Snort stops
the detection process for a packet after the first
matching
rule - maybe to improve performance" while talking
about snort-ng. Is this the way it works in
Snort-1.9.0 too?In what order are the rules matched
against the incoming packets?Is it the order in which
they are listed in the *.rules file?
