  The order of options in lynx.cfg is non-signtificant for majority of them
(of course, if you have two options of the same name in lynx.cfg, the last one
will win).
  As for learning it by beginners, have you seen htmlized documentation on
settings in lynx.cfg (it has TOCs by alphabet and by category)? You can view
the old version online at http://www.hippo.ru/~hvv/cattoc.html.
