So my general opinion is that which channel/repo its coming from is less
important than the list of pkgs itself. So I don't think we should group
by channel.

However,
 we could list them like this:

Name                                     Arch       Version
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Canna-devel                              i386       3.6-12
	[Repo Name field Here]
ElectricFence                            i386       2.2.2-15
	[Repo Name Field Here]

etc etc

then it would be obvious, at a glance, what repo something is from but
not sorting or distracting on that basis.
