I am unable to reproduce this issue by following the instructions you have given.

Please give step by step instructions on how to reproduce it. Thanks.

Those are step by step instructions, I'll try to explain with more details:

Imagine, you have virtual machine with two separate virtual hard drives. There is no way to choose, which hard drive will be used to boot the system.

[Marc Deslauriers (mdeslaur)]

The one listed as the first device will be the one that is booted. If you want to change that, you'll have to remove the devices and recreate them in the order that you want.

I know that, and this is exactly what the bug is about. It's overcomplicated and counterintuitive.

[Marc Deslauriers (mdeslaur)]

Ah! OK, I see...so you would like the option in virt-manager to reorder disks.

Could you please report this feature request upstream, using the instructions here?:

Once that is done, please link the upstream bug to this one. Thanks!
