Ok, even with the patch, within any given category (e.g. Storage Volume) devices are sorted in essentially random order (that is, the population order of the engine), so the patch is not addressing that issue.  On the other hand it surely helps a lot to have Network devices and Storage Volumes separated in the list when showing only non-removable devices.  
I still believe it is useful to have removable devices show up on top of other ones when showing all devices, so I am not convinced of changing the sort-order in this case. 

I would therefore change the sort order only if showing “non-removable devices only” and I am willing to commit this change if it is ok with the author. 

Still, a true solution is still to be found, so I'd rather not close the bug quite yet.

This avoids apparently random sort order (by device engine population timestamp) and unneccessary ListView sections. The problem becomes apparent if other types of devices besides simple storage volumes are configured in /etc/fstab, like for example network mounts.
