Hello,

When advertising the routes from BGP to an nxos switch, we are noticing the routes come in random order instead of sequential order. I tried using `sorted` option but doesnt seem to work.

Using bird 2.0.8 version.

Is there a way to force an order of routes like how Ixia traffic generator does this.

ipv4 table ebgp1 sorted;;

protocol bgp ebgp_1_node01 {
local 10.0.0.2 as 65000; 
neighbor 10.0.0.1 as 100; 
ipv4 {
  table ebgp1;
  import none;
  export where source = RTS_STATIC;
  };
}

protocol static v4static{
    ipv4 {
    table ebgp1;
    };
route 50.0.1.1/32 via 10.0.0.2;
route 50.0.1.2/32 via 10.0.0.2;
route 50.0.1.3/32 via 10.0.0.2;
route 50.0.1.4/32 via 10.0.0.2;
route 50.0.1.5/32 via 10.0.0.2;
route 50.0.1.6/32 via 10.0.0.2;
}
