While I agree with this recommendation to sort alphabetically gnu/packages/*.scm... > Now when importing some packages recursivly, packages are output in > order of the dependency graph, thus authors need to sort them manually. ...I think it is not a good idea to sort alphabetically the output of the importers, because: 1. the packages have to be added dependency-sorted, 2. since each imported package is not alphabetically adjacent in the larger collection of already available packages, the user still needs to find the correct location. Therefore, I am in favor to close this issue as wontfix notabug. WDYT? Cheers, simon
