RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
When you add several VPNs in NetworkManager, the list of VPNs is not sorted by alphabet.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
NetworkManager-1.4.0-12.el7.x86_64
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. add several VPNs sorted by letter to NetworkManager
2. rename a Profile in the GUI by adding "A - " as prefix to make it sorted at the end
3.
Actual results:
The profile is still listed at the same position it was before
Expected results:
Profiles should be always sorted alphabetically.
Additional info:
Hi. Where are you looking at?
in nm-connection-editor they are by default sorted by the "Last Used" column. But you click on the "Name" column header, the sorting is changed to sort by name instead.
I assume you look at gnome-control-center(?).
Reassigning.

network: Re-render the title whenever it changes
The title of network connections may change if the user edits it or if
it was changed programatically by another program. This worked fine, but
the UI was not updated. This patch ensures network list in the UI is
updated.

network: Include the network name in the sort string
The list of networks is sorted by connection type. If a user has e.g. a
lot of VPN connections, then the unsorted list is hard to browse.
So include the name of the network connection in the sort string and
update it whenever the title changes.

Ok, I tried this on RHEL 7.5, and I can see now that the list of VPNs is sorted in the top right corner menu. However it is still not sorted in the gnome-settings menu (under Networks). Is it planned to sort it there as well?
Thanks
Oliver
