I don't understand your question. You're saying you have a script that creates this file. So... create the file the way you want it. Wherever you're first putting data into the file, modify your script at some point previous to that so that it prints the 127.0.0.1 first. What's the real issue here? Please post a short-but-complete script that demonstrates the issue you're having.
