Bug Description

Hi all,
   The package versions drop-down list doesn't show correct order.

Just for e.g. https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xscreensaver

Now click on 'xscreensaver versions'

It shows up as :-

Hardy (5.04-2ubuntu2): main/x11
Dapper-updates (4.23-4ubuntu8.1): main/x11
Edgy-updates (4.24-4ubuntu2.1): main/x11
Feisty-updates (4.24-5ubuntu2.1): main/x11
Edgy-security (4.24-4ubuntu2.1): main/x11
Feisty-security (4.24-5ubuntu2.1): main/x11
Dapper-security (4.23-4ubuntu8.1): main/x11
Gutsy (4.24-5ubuntu3): main/x11
Feisty (4.24-5ubuntu2): main/x11
Edgy (4.24-4ubuntu2): main/x11
Dapper (4.23-4ubuntu8): main/x11

While it should look like :-

Hardy (5.04-2ubuntu2): main/x11
Gutsy (4.24-5ubuntu3): main/x11
Feisty-updates (4.24-5ubuntu2.1): main/x11
Feisty-security (4.24-5ubuntu2.1): main/x11
Feisty (4.24-5ubuntu2): main/x11
Edgy-updates (4.24-4ubuntu2.1): main/x11
Edgy-security (4.24-4ubuntu2.1): main/x11
Edgy (4.24-4ubuntu2): main/x11
Dapper-updates (4.23-4ubuntu8.1): main/x11
Dapper-security (4.23-4ubuntu8.1): main/x11
Dapper (4.23-4ubuntu8): main/x11

Something like this order. I dunno what would be the best, but atleast the versions line up properly and one can see them in a descending order. Please lemme know what do you think & is it technically possible?
