Comment 1 Méven Car 2023-04-02 19:06:07 UTC
Could you share the return of the command `solid-hardware list` or `solid-hardware5 list` depending on your system ?
And a few of the entries returned by `solid-hardware details udi` where udi is one of the value for one those hard-drives.
Comment 2 Méven Car 2023-04-02 19:10:01 UTC
As a workaround you should be able to reorder the drives manually using drag and drop.

Comment 6 Méven Car 2023-04-05 09:33:00 UTC
I am not sure how to fix this.

Because harddrive can be added at any point.
Users currently can expect devices to be visible in the order the were added.
Maintaining an alphabetical order would break this assumption.

You already have a simple workaround: reorganize the order by hand.

So I am guessing the best thing we could do, is to add a context menu option for devices "sort by name".
Do you think Stefan that would be fixing your issue ?
