[ Upstream commit 05c14c03138532a3cb2aa29c2960445c8753343b ]
In the hv-24x7 code there is a function memord() which tries to implement a sort function return -1, 0, 1. However one of the conditions is incorrect, such that it can never be true, because we will have already returned.
I don't believe there is a bug in practice though, because the comparisons are an optimisation prior to calling memcmp().
Fix it by swapping the second comparision, so it can be true.
