Bug Description

Binary package hint: software-center

Applications in the Software Center are sorted by their package name. However, the title used for them is different and often starts with a different letter than the package name. This makes the ordering of the applications seem random and it is hard to find what you're looking for in this list.

This issue is especially noticeable in the Fonts category where you've got fonts in packages starting with otf-* and in packages starting with ttf-*, amongst others.
