Get your facts straight Mr. Imam mehdi lineage belongs to aal-e-rasool. so many hadiths about this fact. A person of Imam Mehdi Stature behind Whom Hazrat Essa will pray. needs not to belong from any Sufi order.
There are different views about Imam Mehdi A.S. between shias and sunnis.
The Shia believe that Imam al-Mahdi is the only son of Imam Hasan al-Askari (the 11th Imam) who was born on the 15th of Sha'ban 255/869 in Samarra, Iraq. Imam al-Mahdi went into occultation (disappearance; leaving among people while he is not identified) and he will re-appear when Allah wills. More specifically:
His lineage:
Muhammad Ibn al-Hasan Ibn Ali Ibn Muhammad Ibn Ali Ibn Musa Ibn Ja'far Sadiq Ibn Muhammad Ibn Ali Ibn al-Husain Ibn Ali Ibn Abi Talib (AS).
On the other hand, most Sunnis are not so sure that he has been born yet! They believe he will be born some time before his mission.
