Bug#838688: update-grub: backup kernels should be sorted after new kernels

Package: grub2-common
Version: 2.02~beta2-36
Severity: normal
File: /usr/sbin/update-grub
When you upgrade a packaged Debian kernel, the old kernel and initrd are
preserved under names ending with `.bak`. update-grub should sort these
after the new kernel when generating the menu (so the default is to boot
into the new kernel). It used to do this, but quite recently it has
started sorting the backup kernels *first*, which is wrong. Observe:
(Reading database ... 257654 files and directories currently installed.)

Adding boot menu entry for EFI firmware configuration
done
And you will see in the grub.cfg below that the default kernel is
/boot/vmlinuz-4.7.0-1-amd64.bak instead of vmlinuz-4.7.0-1-amd64.
(Note: My configuration is slightly weird in that the EFI partition
is mounted at /boot, not /boot/EFI.)
