Details

When selecting packages, they are categorized by group.
The order in the list is, base, base-devel, none.
This order is ok, but the subgroups themselves aren't alphabetically sorted.

not sure what exactly you mean. subgroups? do you mean the list of packages within groups? afaik that should be okay in 2011.01.09 :/

yes, I mean the list of packages within a group during the install. I can get a screenshot later.

Ok, it will probably be much clearer what I mean if you just see the screenshot I made.

should be fixed in git, can you test testbuild 2011.08.14 or newer? (will appear on http://releng.archlinux.org/isos/ in a few hours)

hmm. weird. packages are sorted correctly now, and still per group. groups are sorted, but None comes first. even though sort has the -f flag, and always had, and that always worked until now.

Yes, I can confirm that it works w/ 2011.08.18
None coming before base is strange though, could it have something to do with the "N" being a capital letter?

if LC_COLLATE=C, then yes, 'N' comes before 'b'.

$ printf '%s\n' n o O N a | LC_COLLATE=C sort
N
O
a
n
o

Using a locale like en_US, you get more "alphabetical" behavior:

$ printf '%s\n' n o O N a | LC_COLLATE=en_US sort
a
n
N
o
O

aif does this:
src/aif.sh
14:export LC_COLLATE=C # for consistent sorting behavior

*but* we use the -f flag, so N should come after a, as demonstrated here:

$ printf '%s\n' n o O N a | LC_COLLATE=C sort -f
a
N
n
O
o
