Even though the guide recommends prepending the initializer filenames with numbers, that does seem ugly. Another way is to utilize the provided initialization hooks. See http://guides.rubyonrails.org/configuring.html#initialization-events

  class Application < Rails::Application
    config.before_initialize do
     # initialization code goes here
    end
  end
end
