Again, I'm not an expert but I'd guess it's either an ASCII sort, so 
FreeBSD comes before any lower case repo name, or whatever order the 
repo files appear in the directories. I don't have the bandwidth to read 
the code right now though. You could try renaming "sibptus" to "A" and 
see if it takes precedence. Repo names seem to be entirely arbitrary.
