Description:
Whenever a device is enabled or disabled for a user (using setup->user devices) the widgets on all tabs are alphabetically sorted.
I use trusted networks to avoid the login.

This is no error and makes kind of sense.
The unused device also has a default order.
So add your devices and then order

Is it normal that after a restart of Domoticz or reboot of the system (PI), that al the devices are back alphabetically sorted?

Hello, I also noticed this strange behavior : every time I add a new device the devices' order is messed up (maybe alphabetically sorted?). The order in the dashboard, the switch tab and the temp tab are impacted.

You cannot say that this make sense: I have more than 50 devices each time add a new device, I will have to reorder all the devices!.. My Domoticz configuration lives and evolve it is not an one shot.

I agree this is an annoying problem for me too

Since recent this also happens to me. Each time a device is added, the order of all devices is changed. This is particular annoying for the dashboard. What to do?

maybe switching to another system?
If findthis also pretty annoying. It keeps me from adding new devices.

Or look into the source code. There is also a an issue on this but there was no reaction of the user reporting it: https://github.com/domoticz/domoticz/issues/5979
