How to make the Device Partitioning Numbers in Order (example: "/dev/sda1 to sda5"}

Solution 1:

Use sgdisk from the gdisk package to sort the entries. This can be done by issuing the below command.

sgdisk -s /dev/sda
   -s, --sort
          Sort partition entries. GPT partition numbers need not match the
          order of partitions on the disk. If you want them to match,  you
          can use this option.  Note that some partitioning utilities sort
          partitions whenever they make  changes.  Such  changes  will  be
          reflected  in  your  device  filenames,  so you may need to edit
          /etc/fstab if you use this option.
