pacman internal sorting on package names differ from the one implemented in linux 'sort' command.
pacman treats '-' (hyphen) differently.
Testcase:
1. Install i3 group. It will install i3-wm, i3lock and i3status
2. Check the following commands:
--($:~)-- pacman -Qeq | grep i3 i3-wm i3lock i3status
--($:~)-- pacman -Qeq | grep i3 | sort i3lock i3status i3-wm
--($:~)-- pacman -Qeq | grep i3 | sort -c sort: -:2: disorder: i3lock
pacman sorts according to the C locale. Why does this matter though? I don't believe we make any promises about query output order at all, let alone that it will match `sort`. apg
