I don't create the VMs directly in the UI but use the API with Foreman. If I 
change the MACs on the NICs I have to go back and update Foreman as well.



My workaround today is unplug the NIC I want to be second, briefly power-up the 
VM so the "first" NIC gets assigned a PCI address, shutdown and re-plug the 
"second" NIC. On power-up the "second" NIC will be assigned a later PCI address 
and so achieve the ordering I want.



It's just fiddly and can only be done on first boot. I was hoping for a more 
elegant solution that works when you have large numbers of VMs to provision.

I think it depends on the mac addresses.

If you see that the MAC addresses are not sequential, delete the NICs and 
recreate them in the order you want them to be

Is there any way to enforce NIC ordering so the vNICs match the ordering in the 
Engine UI?



I found this but not clear if it was ever implemented?
