HaikuDepot: alpha-sort 1st and 2nd 'prominenced' apps in one list

This is hrev56522.

If you open HaikuDepot's "Featured packages" tab, you get at the top all packages with "1st(100)" prominence from A to Z. Then follow the packages with "2nd(200)" prominence, also from A to Z.

Took me a second to realize why there are two lists at all... :)

1st and 2nd prominenced packages should appear in one alpha-sorted list in the "Featured packages" tab.

Might be a regression.

Hi; This is actually intentional. This is what is meant by having different prominence levels. You can say package J and package A are prominence 1st and then package B and F are prominence 2nd and you will end up with;

• A
• J
• B
• F

If you don't want this then I guess you could set all of the prominence values to 1st.

Hmm, decisions, decisions...

OTOH, I don't like the featured tab going from A to Z and then going again A to Z. I understand the underlying reasons (and don't like it), but the casual users don't and are probably confused that they don't find application "L", that they read about in the forums, that should be under "L" when they scroll down.

OTOH, "fixing" this by just not using prominence "200" doesn't seem right either.

I'm with humdinger on this. It was confusing for me as well at first.

I think you can simply "fix" it by setting on promoted packages to "1st".

I just assumed packages were sorted by how much they should be pronoted, not the alphabet :g

I have moved all 2nd to 1st prominence, resulting in one alpha-sorted list of featured packages.

I took the liberty of demoting packages that only had bad ratings etc.
