Similar to the LIST RANGE email, I don't have a good citation for this, but my understanding is that this was intended to mirror the order that an UPS uses for its settings (i.e. 0 in the UPS-specific protocol is 103, 1 is 100, etc). In this case, the items are ordered from most sensitive to low-voltage transients, to least sensitive.

The current implementation adds ENUM items to the end of a list, and that list is traversed in the same order each time.

drivers/apcsmart-old.c seems to indicate that the APC protocol has a command to advance the setting to the next in order (similar to what a front panel button would do), but the driver probably doesn't care about the order of the items in the state/dstate data structures.
