Sort by Package Name is broken

[Oleg Vaskevich]

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.

Her I do get a sorted list, when clicking on the package column header, but once I select a packge for addition or de-install, the sorting is gone and the packages are displayed in random order. (synaptic 0.62.1ubuntu10)
