Restore alphbetized package listing order when installing (or at least allow this via config option)

Troubleshooting docs

• My problem is not solved in the Troubleshooting docs

Anaconda default channels

• I do NOT use the Anaconda default channels (pkgs/* etc.)

How did you install Mamba?

install package order

Latest version of Mamba

• My problem is not solved with the latest version

Tried in Conda?

I have this problem with Conda as well, without using Mamba

Describe your issue

When installing packages using mamba v1.4.7 or earlier, the packages to be installed are listed in ascending alphabetical order. However, starting with mamba v1.4.9, the packages to be installed are listed in an arbitrary order.

Having the packages listed in alphabetical order makes it much easier to verify if certain dependencies are being installed correctly, so I would like the previous behavior restored. If there is some compelling reason to not make alphabetizing the default behavior, then please at least make it a configuration option (and don't forget to add that option to the documentation in that case!)
