Hello Geeko servants,

found a minor but annoying problem with zypper's feature --sort-by-x which
renders this feature imho rather pointless and unusable ..

When you for example se --sort-by-repo it indeed sorts by repo on 1st-level,
but randomizes the list of packages on 2nd-level so final result is more messy
output than before sorting :D ..

Conclusion:

We shall add 2nd-level sorting probably by item (package, srcpackage,
application) name to be applied after --sort-by-foo ..

Howto-reproduce:

check the output & order of sorted packages from: zypper -vv se -is
--sort-by-repo


regards, d
