Comment # 4 on bug 11733 from 
Or, at least, use the flags returned by pcap_findalldevs() to sort non-up
interfaces below up interfaces, and sort non-loopback interfaces before
loopback interfaces.  I leave it up to the extcap code to provide up vs. non-up
and loopback vs. non-loopback flags, even if it marks every extcap interface as
"up" and "non-loopback".  Then, *within the four categories*, you can sort
alphanumerically, but *don't* put some random non-up interface before the
system's {Ethernet,Wi-Fi} interface just because it has a name that begins with
a letter in the range "a" through "d" (or, worse, "a" through "v", if you have
a Wi-Fi interface named "wifi0").
