What is the point of using *two* ways to sort entries? Sure, we can explicitly write down the current order of fw_cfg entries and use that to sort them, so order stays as-is even if the initialization order changes. But when going that route I would do that *instead* of the alphabetical ordering, for all machine types. cheers, Gerd
