Do abs last. Always last. Reason is that they are incredibly strong and I think only the tongue is technically stronger, so you have to make sure they are fatigued before you work them.
If you're just doing the abs, then add some resistance. Here's a great ab exercise:
Grab something heavy, preferably a weight but can be anything really. Do a normal crunch but when you get to the position that you normally go back down on, extend your arms slowly upwards and lift the weight. Now, it's very important that on the way back down you take it slowly using up about 3 seconds to hit the ground again. Then pull the weight down to your chest and repeat. Try and do 15 reps with like 3-4 sets, but remember to go slowly. Up the weight when you get good at it.
Once you've done that, do planks. They suck but are incredibly good for core stability and tightening your abs. Aim to do 60s, then rest for 30secs, then 60 again. Do it 3-4 times. Once you can do 90seconds three times with 30secs rest in between, you're doing really well. Make sure your hips down sag down or become too elevated. Try and stay pretty straight and steady when doing them.
The beauty of these is they are resitance exercises so you won't get those massive golf ball like abs but more the flat surfer ones.
As for doing abs every day, well you can certainly stress them far more than other muscles but it's good to always take one day off a week. If your back starts to hurt, you're over doing it.
EDIT - I'm going to mention it again even though most people are aware but diet is incredibly important for good abs. You could literally do ab exercises until failure every day for an entire year, and yet you would never get fantastic results if your body fat was too high. It's one of the first locations where fat gets stored.
