Package: iproute
Version: 20120521-3+b3
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
When a large number of network interfaces has been created, "ip link" and "ip 
addr" output is in the wrong order, as can be seen below.

It looks like a uint8_t overflow or something like that.

Hello!

I'm closing this bug report on iproute2. The original assumption
is not correct and I hope the followup discussions on iproute2 (or
the kernel) sorting is not expected to happen.

The iproute2 set of utilities are really low level tools.
If you want to build sorting and prettier printing on top of
iproute2 you could simply write a script or similar to do it.

Regards,
Andreas Henriksson
