"ls -vr" sorts by version order. It is not perfect, but I guess it is better than the default alphabetical order.

Indeed it does! And doesn't do it in 30_os-prober. So this is where the bug really is IMO. Should I reassign this bug?
No. We want to keep the original order from the GRUB or LILO config file when found, so IMO g30_os-prober should not reorder and the reordering should be done in 90fallback only.
