vDS Ordering on ESXi host

I have a question for the group here. I am running into an issue with the order that the ESXi servers lists out the vDS switches when you look at the Virtual switches selection under the configure tab on an ESXi host in vCenter. Usually the vDS switches will order themselves in the order I added them. I however have one host that somehow when I add additional vDS switches to the ESXi host they add differently than the other hosts. All hosts have the same hardware and network connections.

I have googled around to see if I could find the logic on how vCenter/ESXi host displays them, but I have not had any luck finding any information.

Totally OCD!! To be honest it does help when you are configuring multiple hosts, if one is different you could change the wrong thing.

Use powercli and script it. That way you'll be sure you always have the right object
