Have mdadm --Detail --brief --verbose print the list of devices in alphabetical order. This is useful for debugging purposes. E.g. the test script 10ddf-create compares the output of two mdadm -Dbv calls which may be different if the order is not deterministic. (I confess: I use a modified "test" script that always runs "mdadm --verbose" rather than "mdadm --quiet", otherwise this wouldn't happen in 10ddf-create).
