You are right. The ipv4 will appear in front of ipv6, but the order of
ipv4 or ipv6 (separately) will not be sorted.
Right, but it means that if the host has at least one IPv4 address then
it will be chosen and the IPv6 addresses will be ignored. I should say
that I don't have an issue with doing something about this but I'm
trying to understand how this issue arises. I'm guessing that either the
host is IPv6 only or that somehow the host name is resolving to a list
that includes a 169.254.0.0/16 address.
