>From what I can tell it looks like this patch is only needed for Trusty,
Ubuntu 14.04. It'd be helpful if you could write a Test Case following
the procedure documented at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates
so that we know how to test the issue and fix. Thanks!

Title:
NetworkManager autoconnects to wired profiles in reverse order
Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Status in network-manager source package in Trusty:
New
Bug description:
When I select a wired profile manually and reboot, NetworkManager
instead connects to the profile that has the oldest timestamp. So it's
not connecting to the last used profile, which is troublesome.
On all of our machines (about 500), we define three wired network
profiles, one DHCP and two static. We're migrating from Debian to
Ubuntu, so this bug has only surfaced now for us.
This can be reproduced by creating a couple of network profiles on the
same wired interface and then rebooting or restarting network-manager.
It will loop through the network profiles in the same order always. So
it's doing the exact reverse of what's supposed to happen.
I did some digging and I applied a simple patch to the source code.
This seems to have fixed the issue. I posted my patch for verification
on the networkmanager mailing list and it was verified as being
correct by Beniamino Galvani, one of the developers.
Here is the link to the network-manager topic:

I hope to get this patch included in the trusty package, so somebody
else can benefit from this.
