I think he meant "LAST file".

When you give Emacs multiple filenames on the command line, it acts as 
if you'd opened them with find-file in the order given. So when it's 
done, you end up in the last file.

The shell expands the wildcards. AFAIK, there's no way to customize the 
order it expands them. You could do something like:

emacs $(ls *.txt *.c | tac)

If your OS doesn't have "tac", try "rev".
