When you start rpmdrake, it displays package groups, but the view menu is not consistent with that : the first entry is selected, which is "all packages, alphabetical order". This makes is difficult to actually select alphabetical order, since it forces to first select another entry then come back to the first one. The second entry (all packages, by groups) should be the one that is initially selected. Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
Created attachment 6432 [details] Screenshot showing the issue. It's in french, but it's easy to see that we have groups on the left, whereas the entry that means "all packages, alphabetical order" is selected.

Mageia 4 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-09-19. It is is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Mageia version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we weren't able to fix it before Mageia 4's end of life. If you are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia. If it's valid in several versions, select the highest and add MGAxTOO in whiteboard for each other valid release. Example: it's valid in cauldron and Mageia 5, set to cauldron and add MGA5TOO. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If you would like to help fixing bugs in the future, don't hesitate to join the packager team via our mentoring program [1] or join the teams that fit you most [2].

Summary: Rpmdrake starts in groups mode but view menu says "all packages, alphabetical order" instead => Rpmdrake starts in groups mode but view menu says "All packages, alphabetical" instead
Still valid on Mageia 9, i guess not much people use the option Sort of Workaround if you want to see the packages alphabetical is choice other option and switch back to "All packages, alphabetical" Did this should be on Erratas?
