This is not a build made by an optimizer. This is a build made by someone who knows optimizers exist, and is trying to be an optimizer, but only ends imitating them like a monkey apes the people who visit it at the zoo... but I'm sure you already knew that :p

I strongly suspect it's a bad idea to have counterspelling in this build. Counterspelling is generally somewhat feat and caster level intensive. I think you should ditch it. (Refer to my post on EN World for more details which I have just edited in.)

Also, why aren't your paladin levels first?

Is that makes any difference except from skill point allocation?

Not that the skill points hurt.  I believe Sacred Exorcist requires Knowledge (Religion), and Paladin of Freedom is the only class on there that offers it as a class skill.

Anyway, you have WAY too many long-duration buffs, and absolutely nothing in the way of CL boosters to buffer them against typical dispelling (nevermind MDJ, which totally ruins you).  The only long-duration buff I would ever get with a Sorcerer is Mind Blank, because it's just that good.  Check the page here and look up methods to get your CL to at least 25.  If you can manage 30 then all the better.  I'm sure there's also an item not listed there that provides a bonus vs. dispel attempts, but someone with a more encyclopedic memory if items can put a name to it.

Also, even though you're a Gish, you're still a Sorcerer.  AFAIK there are two sorcerer guides on this website, both with sections about spell selection.  I strongly suggest you look them up.

I hate asking this in case I offend, but is English your native language, Parinho?  Your wording mannerisms suggest you're a bit uncomfortable with it. Edit: After going through more of your posts I retract this. You're clearly fluent, but like anyone else you made a few typos here and there.  No worries.

I'd also still recommend never posting something as "Ultimate" or similar, because it's up to others to determine whether it's great and you trying to state it as fact gives a bad first impression.  Besides, Pun-Pun is the only Ultimate in existence. :p

Oh Solo you crack me up  :lmao! But oh gawd do I hate that website with a passion for the builds it has on it, 90% of the ones I read on that site are just a complete waste of time.

'tis the 10th Commandment :teach

[spoiler]
If you stop ignoring 289 pages telling what the intent is to stretch "more power" in your own god complexion of your interpretation trumps all to cover ability adjustments from aging then I will ignore a quarter page of rules that exist within a sidebar.
I think in this case the grammar is less important than whether the Str and Dex bonus provided to your created undead scales.

Not a good build to be honest, the spell selection isn't that good, the feat selection isn't that good, the stat distribution isn't that good, stalwart sorcerer isn't needed here, and elf isn't a good racial choice even with the otherworldly feat.
 
Silverbrow Human paladin2/sorcerer4/spellsword1/abjurantchampion5/sacredexorcist8

Str 14
Dex 10
Con 13
Int 12
Wis 8
Cha 15

Feats:
1-power attack, dreadful wrath (maybe retrain later to heighten spell once you start constantly running into fear-immune foes)
3-knowledge devotion (the planes for your knowledge skill)
6-combat casting
9-arcane strike
12-practiced spellcaster
15-divine might
18-minor shapeshift

Now you're a much more fearsome combatant much earlier

Spell list
1-silent image, grease, shield, nerveskitter, beign tranpositation 
2-wraithstrike, wings of cover, resist energy, glitterdust, ray of stupidity
3-magic circle against evil, haste, greater magic weapon, stinking cloud
4-wings of flurry, charm monster, greater mirror image, ray of exhaustion
5-dismissal, draconic polymorph, telekenesis, overland flight
6-greater dispel magic, disintegrate, acid fog?
7-limited wish, greater teleport, greater shadow conjuration
8-greater shadow evocation, greater arcane fusion
9-time stop
