www URL loading incorrect SSL certificate

Question

I have an issue with two sites that are running on the same IP address. One as a virtual host. The issue is one of the sites loads correctly if you use the non-www address mountainx.com but if you go to the www address www.mountainx.com it tries to load the certificate for the other site givelocalguide.org.

I worked around this temporarily by adding a Redirect to givelocalguide.org that redirects back to mountainx.com but now I need to develop givelocalguide.org so have to take off the redirect. Why is the www version of www.mountainx.com loading an incorrect certificate? What is the relationship of these two sites? Why wouldn't it load the first site in the alphabetical list on that server?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Your questions aren't answerable without seeing your configuration. — , Jul 26 '17 at 16:51
Edit that into the question, please. They're unreadable as comments with no line breaks. — ceejayoz, Jul 26 '17 at 18:07
Your question say "mountainx.com" but your configuration says "example.com" and "example2.com". Your question and configuration file need to be consistent. — Tim, Jul 26 '17 at 19:22

If your configuration posted is accurate it appears that you are missing:

ServerAlias www.example.org

In your virtual host config. Assuming your mountainx.com certificate is setup for mountainx.com and www.mountainx.com at godaddy you should be good to go.
