I would say "else block". "else-block" is grammatically correct too, but
I don't think I've seen it used regularly.

RE: the order - "else" is being used as an adjective to clarify the noun
"block" - in English the adjective comes before the noun (unlike a lot
of European languages)

e.g. we say "the red book", not "the book red", where the French would
say "livre rouge" (I believe).

If you want to put an adjective after the noun (for poetical reasons
etc) then there needs to be another clause. e.g. "the book, which was
red"

You're German and you say English hyphenation is complicated! ;-)
