: Yes, within a manufacturer, products should be sorted by ID. Each
: manufacturer section is sorted by the symbolic manufacturer name, though.
Within each product section, the products are sorted by numeric id,
not symbolic id. That's how it was when I was maintaining this file,
and is how pccarddevs also works.
eg:
product ALCOR SDCR_6335 0x6335 SD/MMC Card Reader
product ALCOR SDCR_6362 0x6362 SD/MMC Card Reader
product ALCOR TRANSCEND 0x6387 Transcend JetFlash Drive
product ALCOR MA_KBD_HUB 0x9213 MacAlly Kbd Hub
product ALCOR AU9814 0x9215 AU9814 Hub
product ALCOR UMCR_9361 0x9361 USB Multimedia Card Reader
product ALCOR SM_KBD 0x9410 MicroConnectors/StrongMan Keyboard
product ALCOR NEC_KBD_HUB 0x9472 NEC Kbd Hub
product ALCOR AU6390 0x6390 AU6390 USB-IDE converter
has the last one out of order only (it should be sorted 4th in this
list).
: I'm not which one of us is misunderstanding the other - do you think my
: change is somehow wrong?
I think your change misorders things, unless I'm misreading it. It
sorts based on symbolic ID rather than numeric ID.
