Subject: [PATCH] blscfg: sort BLS entries by 'version' field

MIME-Version: 1.0

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

This partially reverts ‘Use BLS fragment filename as menu entry id and

for criteria to sort’. Sorting by filename only gives the correct order

if the BLS entries are generated by a version of ostree after this patch

https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/commit/9f48e212a3bf9ed418fb3216e4f834d581bc520e

to use the version (higher is newer) in the filename. Older ostrees,

including all releases at the time of writing, use the index (lower is

newer) in the filename, so sorting by filename produces the reverse

order.

Sorting by 'version' field matches libostree's own

compare_boot_loader_configs(), so I think it's more correct than relying

on the filename, particularly since we've already gone to the trouble of

parsing all the fields in the file.
