As pointed out in Bug 350809 Comment #2

"packages not sorted in any fashion, clicking on the column header ( which
would
normally sort after this columns content ) achieves nothing."

Clicking on the column header now sorts the items displayed, but sort order is
binary not alphabetical.

Consider testfile containing:

cat testfile
Abc
abc
bcd
BCD
Bcd
BcD
123
4bb
3nn
zyp
bte
654
987
234
Ber
Reg
GGv
GGG
ggg
ggV

then 

cat testfile | sort

123
234
3nn
4bb
654
987
Abc
BCD
BcD
Bcd
Ber
GGG
GGv
Reg
abc
bcd
bte
ggV
ggg
zyp

which is a binary sort enforced by setting RC_LC_ALL to C in
/etc/sysconfig/language

What I ( and most probably the majortity of useres ) would prefer is an
alphabetical sort order as

cat testfile | sort

123
234
3nn
4bb
654
987
abc
Abc
bcd
Bcd
BcD
BCD
Ber
bte
ggg
GGG
ggV
GGv
Reg
zyp

As sort --help points out :

*** WARNING ***
The locale specified by the environment affects sort order.
Set LC_ALL=C to get the traditional sort order that uses
native byte values.

So a fix would involve making yast2 sw_single honor the locale environment
variables for sort order.
