Combine Applications and Packages for smart sort

[ecammit]

I would like to see Applications and Packages combined for smart sorting, or at least the option to do it. I find that I don't really care about the distinction between packages and applications, and I actually find that it hinders trying to find what I am looking for, because I thought something was an Application, and it turns out to be a package. Now when I look for it, I look alphabetically where I would expect it to be in the applications list, and it isn't there. Now I either think I lost it, or I am in the wrong place.

Basically, an option to combine categories would be nice.

I agree. This is one of my "must haves" for PF. I don't really understand the usefulness of the current sorting scheme.

I'll try to improve this. The hardest part is coming up with a GUI to allow the user to set up different ways of sorting in the prefs window. I'll have to think about it.
