Hi Werner,

At the moment, --list-sigs and --check-sigs shows the signature in the
order they happen to be in the key.  However, that can vary depending
on where you got the public key from.  I think a much nicer way of
displaying the signatures would be to sort by the date your key was
sorted.

At the moment, it looks like this:

sig 3       BC185AB3 2002-10-06   Robert Bihlmeyer <robbe@debian.org>
sig         7B8357E5 2001-07-07   Andreas Schuldei (old) <schuldei@nikocity.de>
sig         3CC88C09 2001-07-11   Fumitoshi UKAI <ukai@debian.org>
sig         797EBFAB 2001-07-09   Enrico Zini (Unibo) <zinie@cs.unibo.it>
sig 3       10FA4CD1 2002-08-30   Colin Watson <cjwatson@flatline.org.uk>
sig 3       307D56ED 2002-08-26   Nočl Köthe <noel@debian.org>
sig 3       248AEB73 2002-09-21   Rene Engelhard <rene@rene-engelhard.de>
sig         258D8781 2001-07-10   Michael Bramer <michael@debsupport.de>

I'd much prefer:

sig         7B8357E5 2001-07-07   Andreas Schuldei (old) <schuldei@nikocity.de>
sig         797EBFAB 2001-07-09   Enrico Zini (Unibo) <zinie@cs.unibo.it>
sig         258D8781 2001-07-10   Michael Bramer <michael@debsupport.de>
sig         3CC88C09 2001-07-11   Fumitoshi UKAI <ukai@debian.org>
sig 3       307D56ED 2002-08-26   Nočl Köthe <noel@debian.org>
sig 3       10FA4CD1 2002-08-30   Colin Watson <cjwatson@flatline.org.uk>
sig 3       248AEB73 2002-09-21   Rene Engelhard <rene@rene-engelhard.de>
sig 3       BC185AB3 2002-10-06   Robert Bihlmeyer <robbe@debian.org>

Chronological order makes sense since this shows more easily when I
met someone.
