The icon column sorts by state, and for connected devices 
it also sorts by device type. This is the order:

•  Any device that is being upgraded or provisioned
•  Any device that is being adopted or is restarting
•  Any device that is pending

After this sorting is applied, the sort order uses 
alphabetical order according to the device name.
Customize Columns  Each primary filter: All, 
Gateway/Switches, APs, or Phones applies a default set of 
columns to display. If you enable the Customize Columns 
 option, then the primary filter no longer changes the 
columns.
