The sorting is after the actual names used in the program, like
alpha-linux
amd64-freebsd
amd64-kfreebsd
amd64-netbsd
armel-linux
....
so it is sorted after the architectures, which is maybe not optimal.
Also, sorting by "presentation name" would be an option, but another
idea I had was sorting first after OS then after ARCH, so sorting
after the swiched arch-os string. That way we would have the
OPerating system first, followed by the architecture, which somehow
sounds more natural to me:
Cygwin on Intel x86
Cygwin on x86_64
Darwin universal binaries
Darwin on x86_64
FreeBSD on amd64
FreeBSD on i386
kFreeBSD on amd64
kFreeBSD on i386
Linux on alpha
Linux on ARMel
Linux on ARMhf
Linux on i386
Linux on MIPSel
Linux on PowerPC
Linux on x86_64
NetBSD on amd64
NetBSD on i386
Solaris on i386
Solaris on Sparc
Solaris on x86_64
Windows
Does that look more reasonable?
Karl?
