Why are we discussing it again? You asked me the same here:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/8f11c99b-f3ca-4501-aec4-0795643fc3a9@xxxxxxxxxx/

and I already said - not sorting by name. You take the same order as
previous.

If you ever want to sort by name, answer to yourself:
NO. Take the same order as other existing device.

If you ever want to sort by value, answer to yourself:
NO.

You both came with some new, invented rules of sorting, applied it, and
now you claim that "existing devices were sorted like that". What? NO!

Best regards,
