How embarrasing -- thanks!

I"ve updated the webpage to use this for now -- thanks for the tip! I
thought that this would also have the benefit of a default numerical
sort order, which seems more intuitive, but this appears to fluctuate
with the random mirror selected. I guess there is no problem with this
fluctuation, but I do know the page is read automatically by
notification scripts, including the debian package watch script. I'll
keep an eye on it for a few days to see if anything breaks.
Take care,
