Was the reason for that, specified? If it was wrt order of matching, then
it should not matter - ONTAP looks for the longest matching prefix to
determine which export rule to apply. The docs mention that (search for
'prefix') -

So the order in /etc/exports or the exportfs display, should not matter.
You can test and try to see which rule is taking effect.
Aside - you will need to be watchful about how the export permissions are
laid out for the child and the parent dirs - to be sure you really have
the desired checks in-effect at each level.
