Hi Hartmut,

While I agree with this recommendation to sort alphabetically
gnu/packages/*.scm...

...I think it is not a good idea to sort alphabetically the output of
the importers, because:
1. the packages have to be added dependency-sorted,
2. since each imported package is not alphabetically adjacent in the
larger collection of already available packages, the user still needs
to find the correct location.
Therefore, I am in favor to close this issue as wontfix notabug. WDYT?
Cheers,
simon
