            Bug ID: 324459
           Summary: Sort order for non-removable devices is bad
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: plasma
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: widget-devicenotifier
          Assignee: plasma-bugs@kde.org
          Reporter: benedikt@gollatz.net
                CC: wilderkde@gmail.com

If the user configures the device notifier widget to also display non-removable
devices (such as internal hard disks and fstab-configured network mounts), the
device list will still sort by the timestamp of populating the device object in
the data engine. This results in an essentially random order of devices in the
ListView which is confusing to the user and introduces unnecessary (redundant)
ListView sections.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right click the applet, select "Device Notifier Settings".
2. In the settings dialog select "All devices" on the "Settings" panel, and
click OK.
3. Left click the applet.
Actual Results:  
Non-removable devices are sorted in random order.

Expected Results:  
Devices should be sorted by device type to provide an easily navigable list.

I will attached a patch which fixes the bug below.
