I wouldn't have thought about clicking in the columns headers.
Maybe you could show the order arrow already in the beggining,
before any clicks, this would give a hint.

Sure! Do you think it could be complemented with a graph view? I
liked this, from graphviz page:

Just cosmetics: in the individual package rev. dependencies, what
do you think of using two columns, one for direct dependencies
table and other for indirect dependencies? This would remove the
need for navigation links in the main table.

Also, here, if it's feasible, I think a graph with just the
central package and 1fst and 2nd order dependencies could be
usefull.

Best,
