Description
Describe the request
During the review of arduino/arduino-ide#1520, I noticed that the output of board listall --format json is not always the same. It's not a big deal, but it works fine with the non json output. It would be great to have the same result when I execute the same command twice. This also affects the gRPC API.
Update:
For completeness, the order of the boards inside a platform matches the boards.txt order, but the platforms' order seems "random".
Describe the current behavior
I am using a CLI from c8ff042:
% ./arduino-cli version
arduino-cli Version: git-snapshot Commit: c8ff0425 Date: 2022年10月06日T06:38:53Z
I have the following platforms installed:
% ./arduino-cli core list
ID Installed Latest Name
arduino:mbed_nano 3.2.0 3.3.0 Arduino Mbed OS Nano Boards
arduino:nrf52 1.0.2 1.0.2 Arduino nRF52 Boards
littleBits:avr 1.0.0 1.0.0 littleBits Arduino AVR Modules
When I run board listall without the --format json flags, I always get the same result:
% ./arduino-cli board listall
Board Name FQBN
Arduino Nano 33 BLE arduino:mbed_nano:nano33ble
Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect arduino:mbed_nano:nanorp2040connect

littleBits w6 Arduino Module (Leonardo) littleBits:avr:w6_arduino

Run the same command with the --format json flag at least twice (or multiple times), and you most likely get a different output than the previous one:
% ./arduino-cli board listall --format json
