Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, I am closing it because the bug has been fixed in the latest version of Ubuntu - Quantal Quetzal.
If you need a fix for the bug in previous versions of Ubuntu, please follow the instructions for "Requesting a Backport" at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports#Requesting_a_Backport ** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to software-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1031529 Title: Sort by name sorts by description Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Version: software-center 5.2.3 (from Ubuntu 12.04 on amd64) Having searched for a fragment of a package name, I wanted to sort the results by package name. Sadly, selecting sort "By Name" in the dropdown list in fact sorts the results by the first line of the Description from the debfile. Please rename "Sort By Name" to be less confusing and add a "Sort By Package Name" or similar. Workaround: install synaptic.
