Software Selection when using yum

Description of problem:
In addition to bug 1192155, order of items in Software Selection is different whether you use dnf or yum (with inst.nodnf boot option). We are trying to automate anaconda testing and this thing complicate it for us.

I would also argue that "Minimal install" should be on higher place than the last one.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
22.20.1-1

Comment 2 Kamil Páral 2015-02-26 13:39:24 UTC
I think the interesting question here is whether anaconda does something to modify the order, or whether it takes it unaltered from yum/dnf. Second, whether the order provided by yum/dnf is somehow consistent and configured (and by whom?), or is it just a random representation of the underlying comps xml. And third, would anaconda consider sorting the list somehow (probably not just by alphabet, but also placing the most prominent Fedora flavors at the top), or do you not want to touch this?

Thanks.

Comment 3 David Shea 2015-02-26 13:56:50 UTC
There was a recent update for dnf to order comps by display_order, as yum does. If that turns out not have worked please reopen this bug.
