Bug#983081: apt-cache search -n should sort ouput alphabetically
Package: apt
Version: 1.8.2.2
Severity: normal
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256
When doing...
apt-cache search -n grub
...the content is output unsorted. One has to add '| sort' to get alphabetically sorted output. IMHO, apt-cache should always provide alphabetically-sorted output.
