Sort the output list of matching nvidia drivers

Status in ubuntu-drivers-common source package in Noble:
Fix Released
Bug description:
The list of matching nvidia drivers found for the system, obtained
with ubuntu-drivers list, is printed in random order. It is not
obvious which driver is the recommended one. The driver that is
recommended can be obtained by calling ubuntu-drivers list
--recommended.
[ Impact ]
User has no easy way of knowing which driver to select from an unsorted list.
[ Steps to reproduce ]
1. Call 'ubuntu-drivers list' multiple times
2. observe the list that is returned. I will vary between calls
[ Test plan ]
1. Install ubuntu-drivers on a machine with a modern NVIDIA card
2. Call 'ubuntu-drivers list' multiple tines
[ Expected result ]
The output list should be consistently sorted between calls
