You can't.  The order of reading of cvswrappers is completely random. 
It actually varies depending on the version of the client you're using, 
and whether there's a local .cvswrappers file.  Different 
implementations/cvs versions do it in different ways.

It's far better to have the server configured 'normally' by defining 
binary files, and have local wrappers on the mac machines.  Also forget 
about the '-m' options, as they're redundant (I probably should properly 
depreciate them).

The Mac clients shpuld determine what is binary on that platform 
automatically.  It's not something the server really needs to handle 
(I'd expect that MacCvsX does, since I've not heard of others having the 
problem).
