make format of update list more like pikaur

[rezad1393]

I have installed pikaur yay and paru on my system.

each has some feature that I like that others don't.

one of the features that I like in pikuar is the color output and sorting based on repo (instead of name of packages) when showing update list.

for the life of me I can't make paru list be in color.

these is the output of both of these commands to see the difference.

Does --upgrademenu works for you? #1194 (comment)

[rezad1393]

how do I make it default?

I think I track that question there as it is not a bug.

I didn't know that pikaur could sort like that. The default seems to be sorting by the most major update first, which is super convenient:
#1331

default of what? pikaur?
it is repo based first, which makes a lot of sense for archlinux as it only has two repos.

core: main repo that is the base and main devs of archlinux track and it is more tested for stability. kernel and cmd line stuff needed for a base system and hardware drivers go to it.

extra: all the other stuff that are not needed for base command line system. like kde or gnome or video player and every thing else.
I think this is tracked and tested by other people (other than main devs that put their energy to track core packages for a stable secure system)

that is why I asked for this request for paru.
user would be more served if it sees the core packages that are changing first.

and color added for semantic versioning helps with just a glance to check if important stuff changed. (btw I hate chrome way of using integers for versioning (right now at 135) that firefox stupidly copied, that was one of the signs that said to me firefox is going down the drain)

I like your suggestion too @ #1331
but in my opinion sort should first done by your way (semantic versioning) then by repo way so that core packages are the top no matter what.
