Bug#1061629: Sort the output of -L
Package: dlocate
Version: 1.07+nmu1
Severity: wishlist
Is there any reason for the current ordering of the output? If no I think sorting it would make alot of sense as currently we dont get the list of all files in a folder in one cluster or files in alphabetical order. If there is a reason, maybe it could be mentioned on the manual page.
E.g. "dlocate -L ncal" output (on bullseye) looks just ugly and wrong to me, note the 3rd binary mentioned close to end and how the ncal man page preceeds the cal man page.
