Description
At present, the SunJSSE provider prefers the better performance of key exchange and digital signature algorithm, in the order of ECDHE-ECDSA, ECDHE-RSA, RSA, ECDH-ECDSA, ECDH-RSA, DHE-RSA, DHE-DSS.

Forward secrecy should be preferable first.  If the DHE ephemeral key limitation get resolved, the order should be changed to ECDHE-ECDSA, ECDHE-RSA, DHE-RSA, DHE-DSS, ECDH-ECDSA, ECDH-RSA, RSA.
Comments
Fix request [11u] I'd like to backport JDK-8163326 for parity with Oracle and align the list of cipher suites with other versions. The original patch applies clean but I had to update test/jdk/javax/net/ssl/sanity/ciphersuites/CipherSuitesInOrder.java test because of the list of ciphers was not updated during JDK-8234728 backport to 11u sun/security/ssl and javax/net/ssl tests passed successfully

Fix it when the FFDHE get more popular in the industry, probably when TLS 1.3 get released.
