Ordering global search results so Virtual Machines are next to Devices

[candlerb]

Environment

• Python version: 3.5.2
• NetBox version: 2.6.2

Proposed Functionality

This is a very minor one.

At the moment, if you enter a keyword in global search and it matches multiple types of object, they are returned in the following order:

• Devices
• Prefixes
• IP Addresses
• Virtual Machines

I would like to see "Virtual Machines" come directly under "Devices".

Use Case

Devices and Virtual machines are similar entities: they have interfaces, and interfaces have IPs.

When I was searching for a thing (say "foo"), I saw all the devices called "fooXXX", followed by various prefixes and IPs, and it looked like the thing I was looking for (fooYYY) wasn't there.

But actually there was - it's just that fooYYY was a virtual machine not a device, and the virtual machines were off the bottom of the page - not visible without scrolling.
