Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: software-center
The right-hand pane in software center is always sorted alphabetically.
However, for the 'Provided by Ubuntu' department, these are sorted
alphabetically by display name (and each item is displayed as 'Display
Name' with a short description underneath). This is how I would expect
them to be listed.
For the partner repository, PPAs and other sources, the right hand pane
is always sorted alphabetically by the APT package name, even though
'Display Name' (from the package description) is the prominently
highlighted text. Each item is displayed as 'Display Name' with the
package name underneath.
IMO, these should all sort by display name. It looks rather strange to
see a jumbled mess of package names for PPAs, after seeing cleanly
sorted items under the 'Provided by Ubuntu' department.
