Please check the two sections at the Alsa Wiki for some suggestions to
your problems

http://alsa.opensrc.org/MultipleCards

For card ordering, look at the "The newer "slots=" method" entry.

For multiple cards using the same driver look at "Ordering multiple
cards of the same type" where basically you give it specifics about
each piece of hardware.
