Description Sean Ellis 2016-04-23 19:57:43 UTC 
When browsing available software packages, they are presented in an apparently random order. It is possible to sort the list of installed packages by name, but not the available packages. It would be good to allow them to be sorted by name, popularity, etc.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Discover
2. Select a category
3. View list of available packages

Actual Results:  
Packages are displayed in a predefined by rather strange order

Expected Results:  
Allow sorting by name / popularity / etc.

I note that the "apparently random order" is in fact popularity. This wasn't obvious as the first page of applications all have 5 visible stars. It would still be good to sort on different criteria, though.

Actually it should be sorted by installed size...
