[Bug 280298] Re: Missing "sort by" option in update list (size, name, version)

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

Luca, I can understand sorting by name and by size, and I can do a
design for that. But you also mention sorting by version. Did you have a
use case in mind for that? It seems to me that most packages would have
different version numbering schemes, so sorting by version wouldn't help
you find anything.

Title:
  Missing "sort by" option in update list (size, name, version)

Status in Software Updater:
  Invalid
Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This is not a real bug, but rather a feature request. I think there should be an option "sort by" name, version, and SIZE.
  When I look for updates, many times I don't download all the proposed ones, especially the big updates (sometimes I want to download big files in another moment). Everytime I have to check the biggest one and when there are a lot of updates I waste useful time.
