I tested the patch in my local instance. It does sort now the CVEs in
descending order, which was not what I meant. We had so far the oldest
CVEs on top which this patch would changes.

My change request however was about something else: In the tabular
view, from left to right, it should be sorted by releases and not
having a mix.

libspring-java as by now, might change in future, shows right now:

Bug           | jessie     | sid        | wheezy     | Description
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CVE-2014-0225 | fixed      | fixed      | vulnerable | Information disclosure via SSRF
CVE-2014-3578 | vulnerable | vulnerable | vulnerable | Spring framework directory traversal
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This should be ordered (and for future releases):

Bug           | wheezy     | jessie     | sid        | Description
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CVE-2014-0225 | vulnerable | fixed      | fixed      | Information disclosure via SSRF
CVE-2014-3578 | vulnerable | vulnerable | vulnerable | Spring framework directory traversal
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So "(squeeze) <= wheezy <= jessie <= sid", and for future releases
then "(squeeze) <= wheezy <= jessie <= X <= sid" in the collumns (and
keep the ordering from oldest to newest CVE).

Thanks for looking into this!
