Currently,
guix package -I
lists the latest installed package first, which often ends up scrolling
out of the window. However, this is most of the time where "things happen",
new packages get installed or rolled back.
So I would suggest to revert the order of packages, listing them from the
first to the most recently installed. The same applies probably to
--list-generations.
What do you think?
Andreas

Honestly, I'd like to have them listed alphabetically.

I agree.

‘--list-generations’ already does this.

But then how do you know what the effect of --roll-back will be?
To get them in alphabetical order, a simple solution is to pipe through
sort.

Oh, I was talking about generations, so your argument is valid. I agree
with this part as well, but let’s wait for other opinions.

Agreed (‘sort -k1’).
