Ok, I've specified a basic design for this for version 1.0, and a more sophisticated design for version 2.0.
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareStore?action=diff&rev2=195&rev1=194> For 1.0, "If any of the applications in the department have X-AppInstall-AlwaysOnTop set, those applications should be listed alphabetically at the top of the list, followed by a separator, followed by all the other applications."

Incidentally, I'm quite concerned at the inappropriateness of the metadata for these bundles as shown in 9.04. Why do they all have identical icons? Why do any of them use the phrases "educational desktop", "primary bundle", or "This package depends on"? And most importantly, why don't any of them give any clue as to what software they actually contain? These problems might have been fixed in Karmic (though I don't see changes since April in the files on code.launchpad.net). But if they haven't been, please let me know if you need any advice on fixing them in Lucid.
