Hi Axel,

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.7.5-3
Severity: wishlist

Currently [S], Aptitude::UI::Default-Sorting and --sort allow a bunch of
sorting criterias, e.g. "installsize". "installsize" sorts the smallest
packages first. Nevertheless there currently
seems no way to sort packages so that the biggest packages come first.

While e.g. "aptitude search --sort installsize '~i' | tac" is a
workaround on the commandline, there's no similar workaround for
anything affecting the TUI interface.

I haven't checked so I don't know if it works 100%, and I don't know if
it's documented, but I think that prepending a ~ reverses the sort
policy direction, so "~installsize" should sort with the
largest-unpacked-size packages first.


Cheers.
