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 using cockpit-machines to add/edit a VM network settings, the wizard shows all available interfaces as unsorted entries (see screenshot).

It would be very useful to alphabetically sort the interface list, maybe even putting the (sorted) physical interfaces on top (or with a checkbox to only show physical interfaces).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
cockpit-machines-268-1.el9.noarch.rpm

How reproducible:
Add/edit a virtual machine interface

Steps to Reproduce:
1. log in to cockpit
2. go to the virtual machine tab
3. add/edit a virtual interface

Actual results:
The interface list is unsorted.

Expected results:
The interface list should be sorted, preferably with physical interfaces on top.

Additional info:
None.

Fixed in https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit-machines/pull/1014 , thanks Simon!

Verified with packages:
cockpit-machines-288-1.el9.noarch
cockpit-290-1.el9.x86_64
libvirt-daemon-9.0.0-10.el9_2.x86_64
libvirt-dbus-1.4.1-5.el9.x86_64

Steps:
1 Prepare a cirros image
2 Enter vm details page, click "Add network interface“
3 Choose "Virtual network", "Bridge to LAN", "Direct attachment" seperately, and check the "Source" list.
The interface list is sorted.

So verified.
