[bug#50768] [PATCH] installer: Reorder file system type listbox.

Hello,

I’ve seen Keyras mention such a problem here, but again, I have not seen
“regular bug reports”.  Are there open bug reports about ext4 issues?

What I do regularly see is rants about ext4 :-), which might be
justified, but in my many years with a store I have never had problems
with ext4.  Also, the deduplication code gracefully handles ENOSPC on
/gnu/store/.links.

Otherwise LGTM, thanks!
