Reverse the order of the package version list about downgrade HOT 6 CLOSED

I pulled out the pagination and reversed the out, as of v6.1.0.

I believe this is effectively closed by 92a135f.

Results are presented 30-at-a-time now. This should solve the problem of recent packages flying through scroll-back, and allow us to retain most-recent-first overall sorting.

30 at a time is nice, but the issue still remains imo. The terminal window may be less than 31 lines high, and in addition the bottom is where the users focus is. yay for example shows the most relevant results at the bottom and so does fzf.

Hmm, I think to have most recent pages first, but within each page have items sorted most recent last is a bit strange. If the issue is still about important items scrolling off, I wonder if there's a better fix:

Can you set a smaller DOWNGRADE_PAGE_SIZE that works well enough for how big your terminals usually are?

What if the page size we're dynamic based on current terminal height? That would probably be a pretty simple feature to add, and let's us keep a consistent overall sort.

I don't remember who decided pagination was a better fix than just reversing the list, but I thought someone wanted it. If the solution here is to rip that out and just reverse a simple list, I wouldn't be against it.

I've come to expect the bottom result to be the most relevant, through the use of other modern cli utilities, and think it makes sense since it's less effortful. I can't say it's a standard or even an emerging standard though. It could be a bit strange or unorthodox if you're used to the opposite I guess.

I certainly can live with it either way since I don't downgrade that often. Just wanted to share my perspective.

Thanks for listening! 👍
