Bug#1116007: sort 'Packages' files by ascending version number ?

I wonder if it would help to sort the resulting 'Packages'
file by ascending version number (after concatenation).
See bugs #916838 (apt-sortpkgs) and #690210 (function sort_pkgs_perl)
for some previous tentative implementation attempts,
which didn't meet success ...
