What I have observed (with printers mainly) using 
HP's JetDirect configuration (they have NO path),
is that when you do a SHOWDEV (class), they appear
in the ORDER that you ADDED to the class.

In other words if I have a class called "PRINTER",
and I get:

showdev printer

LDEV   AVAIL       OWNERSHIP          BLAH        BLAH
1000   SPOOLED     SPOOLER OUT
1001   SPOOLED     SPOOLER OUT 
1009   SPOOLED 
1011   SPOOLED     SPOOLER OUT

Then I go into IOCONFIG and add printer 1007 to class "PRINTER",
and NPCONFIG, then STARTSPOOL etc., I will later get:

LDEV   AVAIL       OWNERSHIP          BLAH        BLAH
1000   SPOOLED     SPOOLER OUT
1001   SPOOLED     SPOOLER OUT 
1009   SPOOLED 
1011   SPOOLED     SPOOLER OUT
1007   SPOOLED     SPOOLER OUT

I haven't observed that Path takes precedence over this
order when there is a Path.  But then again I don't
always pay that close attention.

Those that are seeing strange LDEV orders for class
DISC may need to ask themselves in what order were
they added to the class when originally configured?
(And did it come preconfigured?)  Was it part of
some INSTALL script?
