Changing block device order

Hello there,

I'm using several hard drive controllers (SAS/SATA), but at each boot the order of the drives is different. (Sometimes Controller 1 gets /dev/sda to /dev/sdh, one boot later /dev/sda to /dev/sdh is assigned to devices on Controller 2 and so on.)
Since the hard drives are configured via UDIDs, this is not a real problem for the system. But I was just wondering, if I could get this predictable, via udev or something. Just to make it perfect.

Thanks
