NFS block number ordering: how to change?

We have a Sun running the NFS client side (a kernel implementation).
When we try to read a file off of the remote system it doesn't request
blocks 0, 1, 2, 3, ...  Instead it "sorts" them according to the
disk interlace factor so it actually requests 0, 10, 20, 1, 11, 21, etc.
I'm sure it's easy to fix this.  I just don't know how?  Could someone
email me the answer?

Thanks,
