Grub Menu shows kernels in wrong order

[watchingdogs]

I'm trying to make a kernel booted by default, I usually do

Code: Select all

grubby --set-default=/boot/4.18.debug

and that does the trick.

Output from grubby --info=ALL

Code: Select all

/boot/4.18.debug
index=0
..
/boot/someotherkernel
index=1
...
/boot/another
index=2
...etc

However when my grub menu comes up when I boot the kernels are listed in a different order.

• someotherkernel
  another
  4.18.debug

So "someotherkernel" is being booted instead of 4.18.debug. Since it's now using the new bootloader specification, how do I fix the order the grub menu is showing?
I am still able to edit default in /etc/default/grub to "2", but I want to avoid having to reboot machine to see the order of the kernels on the menu if I add more kernels in the future.

grub2-install /dev/sdax

Not relevant with the problem. Besides that sdaX <-- is not correct.

Curiously grub shows the entries of the menu in the same order they are in /boot/loader/entries i-e in alphabetic order !!

Code: Select all

# ls -l /boot/loader/entries
total 12

I see, however doing grubby --info=ALL does not show these /boot/loader/entries in order. Is there a way to fix what grubby shows to correspond to this list of .conf?

Not I know about.
