Originally created by @anubisg1 on GitHub (Aug 28, 2020).

Environment

netbox version 2.8.8 (according to bottom of the page) , python version i have no clue i am an application user not a devops, i do not deploy the app on the server

Proposed Functionality

When opening a device, all physical interfaces should be listed first, then all virtual interfaces (like SVIs, loopbacks, LAGs) should be listed.
Right now we sort (i believe alphabetically) without any regards between physical and virtual interfaces

Use Case

Any user interested in working with a physical device. Having physical interfaces first not only makes it for a more clean user experience but also aligns with the way devices display user information

Database Changes

Likely none, i am not a developer, so i don't really know

External Dependencies

Likely none, i am not a developer, so i don't really know

Still doesn't conform, we don't know what version you are using or anything similar. Please make sure you follow the template.

The logic used for ordering interfaces is rather complex, and extends beyond alphanumeric sorting. The current implementation is the end result of lots of community discussion, so we're not going to make any changes that would upset the consensus.
