Bug Description

Hello,

I am running Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex 8.10 with Synaptic 0.62.1ubuntu10. When having a list of more than 1 package opened, and clicking on the "Package Name" horizontal header, packages are not sorted by backwards alphabetical order.

I've tried recreating this bug with Oneiric and was unable to, given the information you've provided. Please either a) upgrade and test or b) increase the verbosity of the steps to recreate it so we can try again.
