Description
If you try to move "Floppy" to last in the boot order, next time you open Settings it will have moved to third in the boot order on its own. It is impossible to move it to last. There is some bug preventing this from happening.

This works like intended. The GUI will always show enabled devices first and disabled devices after that. The VM settings do store only the boot order, for example
<Boot> <Order position="1" device="DVD"/> <Order position="2" device="HardDisk"/> <Order position="3" device="Floppy"/> <Order position="4" device="None"/> </Boot>
If the floppy device is disabled then it does not matter if it comes 3rd or last. To store the information you suggested we would need to extend the VM settings like this:
<Boot> <Order position="1" device="DVD" enabled="yes"/> <Order position="2" device="HardDisk" enabled="yes"/> <Order position="3" device="None" enabled="no"/> <Order position="4" device="Floppy" enabled="yes"/> </Boot>
That's not worth it.
