"wajig status" gives warning message about stdin not sorted

[Graeme Hewson]

"wajig status" of any package gives a warning messsage as follows:

wajig status python
Package Installed Previous Now State
=======================-===============-===============-===============-=====
join: -:204: is not sorted: glib-networking-common install
python 2.7.2-9ubuntu6 N/A 2.7.2-7ubuntu2 install

The problem is in commands.do_status() where the output from "dpkg --get-selections" is piped to join. The output from "dpkg --get-selections" looks as though it's sorted, but this isn't documented, and changing LC_ALL has no effect. Fix by adding "sort" to the pipe (attached).

I also looked at the source for wajig version 2.4.1, and it seems the problem is there too, where do_status() is in util.py.
