software-center sorts 'Provided by Ubuntu' by display name, everything else by package name

[Dominic Evans]

Binary package hint: software-center

The right-hand pane in software center is always sorted alphabetically.

However, for the 'Provided by Ubuntu' department, these are sorted alphabetically by display name (and each item is displayed as 'Display Name' with a short description underneath). This is how I would expect them to be listed.

For the partner repository, PPAs and other sources, the right hand pane is always sorted alphabetically by the APT package name, even though 'Display Name' (from the package description) is the prominently highlighted text. Each item is displayed as 'Display Name' with the package name underneath.

IMO, these should all sort by display name. It looks rather strange to see a jumbled mess of package names for PPAs, after seeing cleanly sorted items under the 'Provided by Ubuntu' department.
