Using version 2.0.3-2 from experimental:

  With lpstat				Order
  -----------

  lpstat -W completed myprinter		Reverse chronological
  lpstat -W not-completed myprinter	Chronological
  lpstat -W all myprinter		Chronological

  Web interface (using lynx)
  -------------------------

  Completed Jobs			Chronological
  Active Jobs (pending)			Chronological
  All Jobs				Reverse chronological

Santiago, it would be very helpful if you would report this upstream and
provide a link to the report here.
