Seriously.  I'd say either do DNS by hand or by gui, hybrids are fraught 
with difficulty.

Why would you create the files yourself, then?  Can't you create them 
through the gui?

It seems to be simply based on the order in which the data was first 
entered.  You should do further checking to be sure, but I just looked at 
it, and that's what it looks like to me.
