No need to. I am not sure if it is the best idea to order by status in the search results. By default all lists in Synaptic are ordered by name. So why should the user expect that after the installed packages there is also a second list of not installed packages?
This issue definitely needs a more detailed rationale. Picking up Michael's idea seems to be a better solution to me: using the same sorting like in the list before doing the search. The idea would be that the user already tried to find a package and so scrolled arround and reordered the packages and in a second step would use the search function. Furthermore the new list view would be consistent with the previous one. -- Search ordering https://launchpad.net/bugs/17142 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
