Description:

The package contents do not seem to be sorted. In contrast, pacman -Ql does sort its output. Sorting makes it easier to find a particular file. I can expect that /usr/share/ will be near the bottom instead of somewhere near the top.

You can easily just compare the website list and pacman output for any package, though I upload an example for chromium for your convenience.
   chromium_web (14.8 KiB)
   chromium_pacmanQl (17.6 KiB)
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  Future package updates will show a sorted list in the UI.

If you want to find /foo/bar/baz, you can search the webpage for it instead of browsing.

Yes of course, but having the list sorted is nicer.

We just rely on the default sorted order produced by `repo-add --files`; apparently that is not actually sorted?
