[Bug 1406477] [NEW] KDE NM connection editor shuffles the connection list upon connection

[Uqbar]

Public bug reported:

== How to reproduce
0. Define 4 wired connections. I have 1 "normal" and 3 "VPN".
1. Activate the main wired connection
2. Activate any of the "Available connections"

== What happens
The list of the available connections is shuffled. The one with connection in progress goes last in the list, while the mouse now points to a different connection button.
The "connection in progress" is displayed below the connection name, but there is no other sign, not even bold typeface.
As the connection succeeeds it will go in the "Active connections" part of the widget.
Upon disconnection the conenction will be put back in the "available" section, but at a position other than the original one.

== What should happen instead
Whatever makes more sense.
Shuffling that list is nonsense and adds confusion, especially in crowded connection lists.
My personal opinions: Keep the original connection order. There is no way to define it, though.

Screenshots are added below.
