The method "prioritized" returns a list sorted by the value
of the "priority" field, in descending order. However, if several
list items have the same priority, the ordering of those items
within the priority-sorted list becomes random. As a consequence,
we may end up with a non-deterministic oe-terminal spawning, as several
terminals have the same priority. So running commands such as
$ bitbake xxx -cdevshell
$ bitbake yyy -cmenuconfig
may spawn a different terminal each time, for example sometimes Gnome
and sometimes Konsole as hey have the same priority.
Rather than modifying the priorities so they all differ, we sub-sort
the list based on (terminal) names.
This way we achieve a deterministic outcome.
