You are correct about putting FQDN first, but in this case, "localhost" may be the fully-qualified domain, and "localhost.localdomain" may be the alias, since there is no actualy domain called "localdomain". If you list "localhost" first, then programs that resolve IP->name using /etc/hosts via the gethostby*() functions will resolve 127.0.0.1->localhost, which in my experience is desirable over 127.0.0.1->localhost.localdomain.
