Bug Description
Launchpad itself currently sorts list of Ubuntu versions, such as the Ubiquity translations list at [1], in an alphabetical order. However, since the codenames have already gone through a whole A-Z cycle, this gives the very unhelpful result of "...ubiquity in Ubuntu Feisty , ubiquity in Ubuntu Focal , ubiquity in Ubuntu Groovy , ubiquity in Ubuntu Gutsy , ubiquity in Ubuntu Hardy , ubiquity in Ubuntu Hirsute". It would be much more helpful to sort these by the actual dates of release.

I decided to report this for Launchpad itself as it would understandably be less nice-looking to replace the codenames with the release numbers in some sort of release info. A better solution probably then requires a change in launchpad, in the form of a "sort key" for each release.

We do use an appropriate sort key in several other places, but I agree that it's lacking here (`Product.
