   I have searched but cannot confirm what criteria is used to set the   
   order of SSIDs produced by either:   
       A: C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe ms-availablenetworks:   
       B. NETSH WLAN SHOW NETWORKS   
   and the lists are in different order.   
      
   A. First is the connected network followed by signal strength?   
   B. No obvious list order   
      
   Anybody know?
