This is a valid and good point. But this behavior is the default GTK one and I haven't found a way to change it. You can also find the same situation in evolution: If you sort by date, you will get the oldest message on top. Perhaps this is not always the desired behavior too.
Reverting ascending and descending in the sort function seems to be a bad workaround. ** Changed in: gnome-app-install (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed => Confirmed -- Clicking on popularity once should sort descending https://launchpad.net/bugs/59976 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
