>Description:

audit-packages prints results in arbitrary order, probably the result
of iterating a hash table or something.

It should either be sorted explicitly (probably by package name and
then url) or retain the ordering of the input file, which is pretty
much chronological.

Either way would help to avoid the problem where a new issue slips in
between long-existing unpatched issues and goes unnoticed, which a
number of people have commented on recently and I've long found
annoying.

>How-To-Repeat:

audit-packages on a system that hasn't been patched in a while.

>Fix:

dunno.
