 * Hello,
    having a source URL like /imp* …to catch “/imprint/” makes the target
   URL (when specified as [http://targeturl.com/](http://targeturl.com/)) look like
   [http://targeturl.com/rint/](http://targeturl.com/rint/) …this is wrong. Yes,
   I know the correct source URL should be /imp.*/ and this works fine.
 * Also: is it possible to order the redirects? This would be very helpful to have
   specific 301s first, then semi-gererics like /training.* and the a /* catchall
   at the end.
    Thanks Nils
