Package: util-linux
Version: 2.16.2-0
Severity: wishlist

The dislayed istems are not always in the same order. This distracts
finding out the information form the lines:

        $ blkid:

    ....
    /dev/sda9: UUID="d16a2f42-9a50-4489-a788-8624c832a7f3" TYPE="ext3" 
LABEL="storage" SEC_TYPE="ext2" 
    /dev/sda7: TYPE="swap" LABEL="swap" 
UUID="8393acfa-d4bd-40fc-8eb9-5ccd8d85e103" 
    /dev/sdb3: LABEL="root2" UUID="50398f34-dda8-4a39-934c-0d3a2c544f42" 
SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" 
    /dev/sdb4: UUID="6a14db05-0b79-4aec-856d-2d105b1049d4" TYPE="ext4" 
LABEL="media" 
    /dev/sdb1: LABEL="rescue2" UUID="86cef3dc-c628-49de-a9b3-e3197e543174" 
SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" 
    ...
    /dev/sdb2: LABEL="swap2" UUID="1ccf5598-c8a1-4a1f-bac2-49ace0c4ef01" 
TYPE="ext2" 
    /dev/sdd1: UUID="7899b046-ca44-4cd1-9fd7-a987db88ea00" TYPE="swap" 
    /dev/sdd2: LABEL="rescue" UUID="188f9707-88b5-46bc-a7ec-bf9b31e9d666" 
SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" 

SUGGESTION:

Please display items in the same order for each for line. As uuid is
same length fore each, it is best to appear first to make the lines
appear initially even. The label information is also used often, so
it's best to left last for easy finding.

Suggested order:

     UUID SEC_TYPE TYPE LABEL

Alternatively label first (for immediate reading), but it would make
the display fully ragged:

     LABEL UUID SEC_TYPE TYPE
