Select package and Click "Optional packages". 5. EX Select "Base System" and "Base". 6. Click "Optional packages" Actual results: It's generally sorted right but see that "network-manager" is first. There is some exception like this if you search in other groups too. Expected results: all packages are sorting alphabetically Additional info: screenshot: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=383467
I thought we had this already, but I was thinking of bug#481179, which is about the group info. sorting. Anyway, this bug is really a yum bug ... but I'm not sure how painful it would be to change the sorting in yum (although for RHEL we don't do i18n for yum itself, so maybe it's ok). Fixing it in just pirut would mean putting custom sorting routines everywhere.
