Public bug reported:
When you modify a connection using nmcli, the result depends on the order of
the parameters. In my opinion, that shouldn't be the case.
```
$ nmcli --version
nmcli tool, version 1.54.3
$ nmcli connection show test | grep mac
802-11-wireless.mac-address: --
802-11-wireless.cloned-mac-address: stable-ssid
802-11-wireless.generate-mac-address-mask:--
802-11-wireless.mac-address-denylist: --
802-11-wireless.mac-address-randomization:default
$ nmcli connection modify test 802-11-wireless.mac-address-randomization
default 802-11-wireless.cloned-mac-address stable-ssid
