Hello,
How are you having the subnets persist across restarts? Are you
executing a config-write? What order are the subnets ending up in on
the drive after that? Do they have IDs listed? If not, I'm sure it
will generate them in the order they are found in the configuration
file.
Also, you are running an older development version. I would suggest
you start using the latest current stable version of 2.2.0.
