This seems to be done in cats/sql_get.c function get_client_ids(). I'm 
not sure if simply adding an "ORDER BY" statement works with all 
databases if you order by a field not actually requested.

Also, this could break existing scripts where you do something like

echo 'status client
1
'

so I would carefully consider such a change.
