Bug Description
Version: software-center 5.2.3 (from Ubuntu 12.04 on amd64)
Having searched for a fragment of a package name, I wanted to sort the results by package name. Sadly, selecting sort "By Name" in the dropdown list in fact sorts the results by the first line of the Description from the debfile. Please rename "Sort By Name" to be less confusing and add a "Sort By Package Name" or similar.
Workaround: install synaptic.
