I think kyzoo is right, but VCAA doesn't really seem to mind on this one which is good.

Halogens are still greater priority than alkyl groups though.

Google:
2-chloro-4-methylpentane
4-chloro-2-methylpentane

Only the first one gives results.  (This is a different molecule im talking about now btw, just in case of confusion)

Umm, I think you number in such a way that the total number is least only when there is no functional groups. Which does not destroy the purpose of the priorities.
