NMPCache can preserve the order of the objects. Until now, the order was however arbitrary. Soon we will require to preserve the order of routes. During a dump, force appending new objects at the end. That ensures, correct ordering during the dump. Note that we track objects in several distrinct indexes. Those partition the set of all objects. Outside a dump when receiving events about new objects (e.g. RTM_NEWROUTE), it is very unclear at which place the new object should be sorted. It is especially unclear, as an object might move from one partition (of an index) to another. In general, a deterministic order will only be useful in one particular instance: the NMP_CACHE_ID_TYPE_ROUTES_BY_DESTINATION index for routes. In this case, we will ensure a particular order of the routes.
