What order are ssids listed when you just run:

Seems like the order changes around when I report more fields? For
example, using '-r ssid,mediafile' doesn't report the ssids in the same
order as '-r ssid'. I was trying to add various fields to see if I could
figure out the default order, but I don't think I've got it.
Why does this matter in the slightest? If you want to specify the order
you can, so what does the default matter? I almost always use "-ot".
You're right, and ordinarily, I would agree, and I also use '-ot' much
of the time, but here's how this came up, as silly as this might seem.
I had a tape wherein all the savesets were marked suspect, and I wanted
to mark all the savesets notsuspect. So, I ran this command:
mminfo -s server -q volume=volname -r ssid,cloneid | grep -v ssid | awk
'{print $1 "/" $2}' | xargs -i /bin/sh -c 'nsrmm -s server -o notsuspect
{} -y'.
While this was running - and it took it a while - I was trying to figure
out how much it had completed. So I'm running other commands to query
that tape like:
mminfo -s server -q volume=volname -r savetime,clflags | egrep 's$'
mminfo -s server -q volume=volname -r savetime,clflags
and I notice that reported lines that still end in an ' s' are
sporadically located and do NOT appear in the order that my command
should be processing them. In other words, I would have expected my
command to march through the ssids in the order that the command:
mminfo -s server -q volume=volname -r ssid,cloneid
would have reported them, but it didn't seem to be doing this at all.
So, I'm wondering: OK, what is the order if I don't use '-ot' or '-o'
followed by some sort criteria? The more I played around with it, the
more mysterious it became so I decided to post my question but leave out
all the detail that led to it. BTW The command that I ran worked just fine.
If the default sort order is 'mocntl' then the 'm' seems moot in this
case as this is the same piece of media, right? Next, the 'o' as I
discovered seems tantamount to reporting the mediafile, but doing that
does not result in the same order for the ssids as I initially posted.
It's the same client for all the save sets, so 'c' seems moot as well.
Next, 't' seems moot because I get a different order when I run 'mminfo
-q volume=vol -ot' versus 'mminfo -q volume=vol'. That leaves only 'n'
for name. Not all the save sets have the same name, but sorting them in
order by name does not produce the same ssid order.
