Sorting the SNMP's Lookup instead of assume the ifIndex …

…of the interfaces are ordered. Related with samilliken/openDCIM #938 issue.

Don't think this is the best route to be going down for this. Before we put something like this in place we should instead look at expanding the port model to include the indexid from the snmp device and let the end user match ports up.

@wilpig I agree it would be great to add ifIndex to the port model.
I am planning to add more switchport features to opendcim (change VLAN...) and this would be a prerequisite
Do you plan to add this anytime soon ?

[wilpig]

I don't have a lot of time to work on this right now and I don't have access to some of the offending equipment which makes it difficult to test as well. Adding a vlan column seems out of scope. We have typically told people to put this type of information into the notes field.

Is there anything I can do to help with expanding the port model to include the indexid from the snmp source?
although I'm not a programmer, I have access to new stacked C3850s I can test on...
we also have one student on summer internship in our team, if you'd describe approach you want to take, we might be able to do at least some of the work... (?)
