            Bug ID: 294093
           Summary: bsdconfig(8): Sort devices naturally (numerically),
                    not lexicographically
           Product: Base System
           Version: 16.0-CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: michaelo@FreeBSD.org

Installed a new machine via SOL yesterday and the installer gave me this
listing:

┌──────ZFS Configuration────────┐
│ Select a disk device          │
│ ┌───────────────────────────┐ │
│ │ da0   SEAGATE ST9300653SS │ │
│ │ da1   SEAGATE ST9900805SS │ │
│ │ da10  SEAGATE ST9900805SS │ │
│ │ da11  SEAGATE ST9300605SS │ │
│ │ da12  Generic Flash Disk  │ │
│ │ da2   SEAGATE ST9900805SS │ │
│ │ da3   SEAGATE ST9300605SS │ │
│ │ da4   SEAGATE ST9900805SS │ │
│ │ da5   SEAGATE ST9300653SS │ │
│ │ da6   SEAGATE ST9900805SS │ │
│ │ da7   SEAGATE ST9900805SS │ │
│ │ da8   SEAGATE ST9900805SS │ │
│ │ da9   SEAGATE ST9900805SS │ │
│ └───────────────────────────┘ │
├───────────────────────────────┤
│     <  OK  >   < Back >       │
└───────────────────────────────┘

The device sort order is awkward from a user's PoV, the sort order should be
naturally:

┌──────ZFS Configuration────────┐
│ Select a disk device          │
│ ┌───────────────────────────┐ │
│ │ da0   SEAGATE ST9300653SS │ │
│ │ da1   SEAGATE ST9900805SS │ │
│ │ da2   SEAGATE ST9900805SS │ │
│ │ da3   SEAGATE ST9300605SS │ │
│ │ da4   SEAGATE ST9900805SS │ │
│ │ da5   SEAGATE ST9300653SS │ │
│ │ da6   SEAGATE ST9900805SS │ │
│ │ da7   SEAGATE ST9900805SS │ │
│ │ da8   SEAGATE ST9900805SS │ │
│ │ da9   SEAGATE ST9900805SS │ │
│ │ da10  SEAGATE ST9900805SS │ │
│ │ da11  SEAGATE ST9300605SS │ │
│ │ da12  Generic Flash Disk  │ │
│ └───────────────────────────┘ │
├───────────────────────────────┤
│     <  OK  >   < Back >       │
└───────────────────────────────┘

The code is in ./usr.sbin/bsdconfig/share/device.subr: f_device_sort_by_awk,
function _asorti()

camcontrol(8) output is naturally sorted:
# camcontrol devlist
