Bug Description

[Impact]
Snap branches are shown in a random order.

[Test Case]
1. Open GNOME Software
2. Search for and select "communitheme" snap
3. Select available channels (requires LP: #1768779 to be fixed).

Expected result:
Branches are shown in some predictable order.

Observed result:
Branches are shown in a random order.

[Regression Potential]
Solution is to sort branches alphabetically, could introduce new bugs in channel code.

I am not sure how to verify this SRU because the server no longer advertises branches (comment 4 bug 1768794) and this information is not displayed in gnome-software. Tracks are in a predictable order.

I'll mark this verification-done as I did test it at the time (when the server did advertise branches). I think with Jean-Baptiste's confirmation that the tracks are correct then we should keep the change in case the server ever changed behaviour. I think the risk of this patch causing further issues is sufficiently low that it's not worth backing it out.
