AFAIK, Grub will order according to the SCSI-BIOS setting for
high-to-low or low-to-high ordering sequence. If you specify a boot
device that isn't based upon that order, such as a boot device that has
ID3 on a chain that contains disks on any ID above and below ID3, then
you'll get the unusable misordered result you observed.
