InterfaceTemplate ordering does not match the order on an actual device

[AliMickey]

Deployment Type

Self-hosted

NetBox Version

v4.2.2.

Python Version

3.12

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create interfaces on a device type template:

Ethernet1
Ethernet2
Ethernet3
Ethernet4
Ethernet5/1
Ethernet5/2
Ethernet5/3
Ethernet5/4

2. Create a new device using that template.
3. Observe that the interface order of the interfaces does not match in default ordering.

Ethernet5/1
Ethernet5/2
Ethernet5/3
Ethernet5/4
Ethernet1
Ethernet2
Ethernet3
Ethernet4

Expected Behavior

The created device should match the template, as it is a template.

Observed Behavior

The default ordering on a device's interface table does not represent the template order.

As a side note, I know this sort of issue has been raised multiple times previously however I had hoped there was an improvement in the recent v4 release that notes collation based ordering.

Whatever order the InterfaceTemplate uses is better, if i add a new interface as a test "Ethernet1/1" it correctly slots in between the existing interfaces (in the InterfaceTemplate table):

Ethernet1
Ethernet1/1
Ethernet2
Ethernet3
Ethernet4

I have cleared my interface sorting defaults, made sure multiple columns were not selected for sorting, no luck :( .
