The best choice would be to have the Catch handler that catches an exception of type Exception to be the last Catch block in the chain of Catch blocks. This is because Exception is the base class for all exceptions and so any exception thrown will be caught by this handler if it is not caught by any of the other more specific Catch blocks that handle the different types of exceptions. Placing this handler first or anywhere else may result in it catching exceptions that were meant to be caught by more specific handlers which could cause unintended behavior.
