Actually there is no such thing like "the vhost files" in nginx.
You probably mean those files included from nginx.conf by the
"include" directive (see: http://nginx.org/r/include ).

Before nginx 1.3.10 the order was arbitrary. Since version
1.3.10 they sorted alphabetically on unix systems.

Please note, such directories like "sites-enabled" and
"sites-available" are not something common for nginx.
In fact, they created by nginx package on some linux systems
because the maintainers of these packages find it convenient.
