YES (theoretically)
There is a way, by means of the metadata api [1] via the metadata key
'http://jackaudio.org/metadata/order' [2], but the trio of JACK client,
server and patchbay must support this for it to work.
* the client sets the order of its ports via 'jack_set_property'
* the server stores the metadata in a database
* the patchbay reads the metadata to order ports accordingingly
NO (practically)
* only few clients and patchbays support this yet
* JACK1 implements the metadata API, JACK2 still does NOT
in mixbus 3 once you have named the tracks
they don't show up in the connection window in the order they are in the
project window.

Which one? a port can have up to 2 aliases...

Port aliases were almost never used for anything, and the current build of
qjackctl has support for them removed.

No!
If you are thinking of this, please don't remove alias support from Jack!
Or at least replace it with some default metadata containing similar
'friendly' port names, as I had requested some time ago.
Aliases (at least the default ones supplied by Jack)
are very important for MusE.
We use them to reconnect ports that are not available,
when those ports become available again. (USB midi etc.)
A sort of 'session management' feature. It works quite well.
The standard 'canonical' names (System::midi_playback_1)
provided by ports are /not/ sufficient for this task
since the numeric portion is derived from simple 'up counters'
which change value every time a device is re-plugged.
I can provide more details if needed.
We look for which ever port name or alias does /not/
contain the word 'System:', if possible.
Thanks.
Tim.

Port pretty-names have a standard URI, and have since before the metadata

standard, as is
Qjackctl supports all this already.

Ah, sorry for the noise, again. I'm an email dinosaur.
When I last tried metadata several months ago I didn't seem
to get any default pretty names. I was really worried...
So I just now built jack-1 and yes, pretty names are there in QJackCtl.
Tres cool !
Just to be clear, is it Jack which sets these default pretty strings?
Awesome, thanks Paul.
PS: Have you done anything with metadata tempo maps, in say Ardour?

no, they have to be set by something that knows about the hardware. e.g. a
script that calls jack_property to set them.
Awesome, thanks Paul.

I see no connection between the two concepts.
