Nginx not respecting locations execution ordering

[c0nw0nk]

Thank you for the help :)

A new dilemma has occurred from this.

I add a location like so.

location ^~/media/files/ {
add_header X-Location-Order First;
}
location ~ \.mp4$ {
add_header X-Location-MP4 Served-from-MP4-location;
}
location ~*
\.(ico|png|jpg|jpeg|gif|flv|mp4|avi|m4v|mov|divx|webm|ogg|mp3|mpeg|mpg|swf|css|js)$
{
add_header X-Location-Order Second;
}


How can i make it so my MP4 location is not overridden by the
^~/media/files/ location.

I would like the responses to be like this.

URL : domain_name_dot_com/media/files/image.jpg
Header response is X-Location-Order: First

URL : domain_name_dot_com/media/files/video.mp4
Header response is X-Location-MP4: Served-from-MP4-location

URL : domain_name_dot_com/media/files/other.css
Header response is X-Location-Order: Second


How can I achieve that is it possible to have a location inside a location ?
