package.el sort order

package.el sort order

[Michael Bach]

Dear Emacs Users,

After doing a package-list-packages, how can I sort the package list to 
be sorted alphabetically instead of by package status?  I did the usual 
google + manual search, but found nothing.  Best would be a variable 
that specifies default sorting when the list is updated.

Could someone give me a shove?

Best Regards,
Michael

Just for reference, I solved this one via

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(add-hook 'package-menu-mode-hook
              (lambda ()
                (forward-word)
                (Buffer-menu-sort)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

sorry for the noise.
