[PROBLEM] unordered list return of available_devices in track

Renoise Tool Development

R3.2.2 or old W10
There seems to be a small problem with the return of the two lists available_devices and available_device_infos for the tracks.

When starting Renoise the available_devices and available_device_infos properties can return the VST effects to the beginning of the list. But later these properties can return the VST effects to the end of the list, changing the order of the list.

It is desirable that they always return the same order of the list. I think the correct thing is that they always return the native effects and then the VST effects.

I cannot describe why this happens…

>>> rprint(renoise.song().selected_track.available_devices)
[1] =>  Audio/Effects/VST/TAL-Vocoder
[2] =>  Audio/Effects/Native/Delay
[3] =>  Audio/Effects/Native/Multitap
[4] =>  Audio/Effects/Native/mpReverb 2
[5] =>  Audio/Effects/Native/Reverb
...
[42] =>  Audio/Effects/Native/*LFO
[43] =>  Audio/Effects/Native/*Key Tracker
[44] =>  Audio/Effects/Native/*Velocity Tracker
[45] =>  Audio/Effects/Native/*Signal Follower

Later, in the same project session (look up and down the list)…

>>> rprint(renoise.song().selected_track.available_devices)
[1] =>  Audio/Effects/Native/Delay
[2] =>  Audio/Effects/Native/Multitap
[3] =>  Audio/Effects/Native/mpReverb 2
[4] =>  Audio/Effects/Native/Reverb
...
[41] =>  Audio/Effects/Native/*LFO
[42] =>  Audio/Effects/Native/*Key Tracker
[43] =>  Audio/Effects/Native/*Velocity Tracker
[44] =>  Audio/Effects/Native/*Signal Follower
[45] =>  Audio/Effects/VST/TAL-Vocoder

Why does this happen? Can this be corrected?
