Bug 6415 – Package list index not easy to read

• Product: Gentoo Infrastructure
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Santiago Tabares 2002-08-13 12:44:42 UTC]

Actually the package list is in alphabetical oreder, and it orders the
categories from left to right and from top to bottom. Like this:
1  2  3
4  5  6
7  8

It would be easier to read if it would be ordered from top to bottom and then
from left to right. Just like this:
1  4  7
2  5  8
3  6

I hope I'm clear. English is not my first language :)

i find up down then left right more readable (i agree with you ;])

Colin,
Any ideas on how to make this happen?

this could be done with css and a major change to the xsl used for that page.
though it would be much easier to change the code which generates the xml
(gentoo-xml/scripts/pkgs.py).

after over a year, this is now up and on the site, the code got lost in the
ether, but it's up and done, resolving this bug
