IPv6 addresses with the same scope are returned in reverse insertion
order, unlike IPv4. For example, when adding a -> b -> c, the list is
reported as c -> b -> a, while IPv4 preserves the original order.

This behavior causes:

   in the opposite order from which they were saved. See example below
   showing addresses added as 1::1, 1::2, 1::3 but displayed and saved
   in reverse order.
