title: URL Routing parameter name, order
body: <p>Asking for the best way to address this issue:</p>
  
  <p>in my controller I have the following action</p>
  
  <pre><code>public ActionResult Member(string id){return View();}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>another action in the same controller</p>
  
  <pre><code>public ActionResult Archive(string year){return View();}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>in my global.asax</p>
  
  <pre><code>routes.MapRoute(
              "Archive",                                              // Route name
              "{controller}/{action}/{year}",                           // URL with parameters
              new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", year = "" }  // Parameter defaults
          );
  
  routes.MapRoute(
              "Default",                                              // Route name
              "{controller}/{action}/{id}",                           // URL with parameters
              new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id="" }  // Parameter defaults
          );
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>if I call this url mysite.com/archive/2009 this works because the action expecting parameter with a name "year" and the first route schema works with this request. But if I call this url mysite.com/member/john it will result in this url mysite.com/member?id=john
  So it looks like if my first route in global.asax have the same construction but different parameter name, the one with the right parameter name will have the right url (mysite.com/archive/2009) but for the other won't. How can I solve this issue? I can change the route table to expect a generic parameter name like "param", but I need to change all the signature of the action to "param" as well and it is not very descriptive (param instead year or param instead id).</p>
