Default /dev/sd disk blockdevices randomly ordered at every boot

I've been using Devuan 2 for 4 years and it consistently detected my drives as this:
/dev/sda: primary SSD where the system resides
/dev/sdb: secondary SSD where i back up the system with rsync regularly
/dev/sdc: secondary HDD where i back up the data with rsync regularly
/dev/sdd: primary HDD where the data resides
This order was constant, it never changed. This is the same order as the disks are plugged into the motherboard. Clean, obvious, logical. Working.

A few days ago i've upgraded to Devuan 4 and now the order is entirely random. At every boot.
I tried to check how can i set up a persistent order, but all i found is how to write fstab entries by disk id; but this is not a partition problem, it is a disk blockdevice detecting order problem, it cannot be solved from fstab.

Any tips on this?
