This bug is unfortunate.

Peter, you're absolutely right that Sparkle's present behavior is stupid. I think you're right that the sort should take place in the update driver; this even makes sense when thinking about the separation of responsibility. The appcast provides all the available updates, and the client (the update driver) chooses which one(s) it cares about.

It'd be great if we could get this fixed in a totally non-breaking way for 1.5, but I'm concerned that this would break poorly written but presently working feeds which have a most recent update which is not the highest in version number.
