### Describe the improvement

# Current behavior

Currently, when searching for a package (i.e. Syncthing), the search result UI will refresh every time a new result is found and shuffle the entries.

This can be very annoying when search discovers new entries for a long time, even though the package you were looking for has already been found. This can result in the wanted package jumping around the screen for some time.

# Proposed behavior

Add an option "Sort by find/discovery time" that always appends new search results at the end of the list, so the result order and position is always the same.

### Describe how this improvement could help users.

It's just a nice feature to have and makes search a bit more user friendly.
