Muon package manager is not exactly a paragon of UI design. For example,
I want to install PostgreSQL: the main package, the contrib package, and
the docs. Try typing "postgres" into the search field:  I have no idea
what those results are sorted by. Clicking the "Package" header sorts by
package name... reversed. Clicking again sorts the results in ascending
order. So if I'm going to install several sets of packages (try
"apache"), for each search I do I have to click the Package header twice
in order for the results to be manageable.

Give me synaptic any day.
