Couple of Questions on Package Displays
-
Hi everyone,
ProGet Newbee here, so got a few questions.-
Is it possible display packages alphabetically, rather then the way the way they were added to Proget? This would be on the Feeds page.
-
Is there way to show the actually name of the package rather than the choco name?
ex. adobereader should display "Adobe Reader" or 7zip.install should display "7-Zip"
Sorry if it was already in the forums and I just missed it.
Thanks -

Hi @rmusick_7875 ,
No problem, happy to help.
[1] I'm afraid it's not really possible to sort the packages; they're displayed in the order that's returned from the remote feed (i.e. chocolatey.org), and sorting isn't possible when requesting results. Typically it's done by popularity, but sometimes they come back with recently-updated. I'm afraid it's not predictable. Internally, ProGet sorts a feed by recently updated.
[2] We used to do this, but it creates a lot of confusion because many package titles look like they are a package ID. It was especially confusing for packages with a title like
Initech.Utils, but with a ID ofInitechUtil2or something. NuGet.org also changed similarly.We may consider changing the behavior for Chocolatey feeds.

Thanks.
- Is there a file I can modify that will reorganize them manually? I just see this being a question down the road.
- Any chance of getting this on a request list - Yes it is for Chocolatey.
Thanks.

The sort-order for feeds is not configurable the ProGet UI, but some tools (like Visual Studio) do allow for sorting.
Otherwise, we haven't had any other requests for improving the ProGet UI for Chocolatey Feeds (especially not from customers / paid users that we're aware of), but if we hear more requests we'll definitely consider improvements like this.

@atripp
Could you possibly point me in the location where this information is stored or is it located in the SQL database?
Thanks. -
@rmusick_7875 generally speaking feed information is combined from chocolatey.org (and other connectors you configure), metadata stored in the database (the
NuGet*tables), and cached/local package files on disk
