Pacman -Qet sorted by groups

Is there a way to sort Pacman -Qet by core (base base-devel) extra community etc?

Re: Pacman -Qet sorted by groups

Not via a simple command-line flag, no. You could write a script that gets all the groups using pacman -Qgg (or just specify the groups you want, if it's only those two), then gets all the packages in those groups using pacman -Qg <groupname>. Similarly, get all the packages in a repo using pacman -Slq reponame. Then do something like:

pacman -Qet | fgrep -w "$var_holding_packages_in_first_group"
pacman -Qet | fgrep -w "$var_holding_packages_in_second_group"
pacman -Qet | fgrep -w "$var_holding_packages_from_repo_I_want_next" | fgrep -w -v "$var_holding_packages_in_all_groups"
