Originally created by @zelfix on GitHub (Jun 5, 2019).

Environment

  • Python version: 3.6.7
  • NetBox version: 2.5.13

Huawei CE switches can have interface names start with numbers, for example: 10GE1/0/1 or 40GE1/0/5. Such names have incorrect order in the list of interfaces.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Add interfaces with names 10GE1/0/[1-48] to device

Expected Behavior

list of interfaces with ascending order

Observed Behavior

Natural ordering doesn't work correctly

@jeremystretch commented on GitHub (Jun 5, 2019):

NetBox employs custom logic to naturally order interfaces as best we can. Unfortunately, it is not feasible to accommodate every naming scheme.

I'm going to close this as non-actionable. However, if you'd like to propose a specific modification to the existing logic that will address your use case without impacting any of the existing test cases, I'm happy to re-open it.
