This does not get displayed by VMPTFS. Why not

Resolution

VMPTFS sorts the display of PTF/Solution numbers ascending ... so a side effect of our current PTF/Solutions numbers starting with the letter "L" is that they show in the VMPTFS output *before* the older previously applied PTFs that begin with "Q", "R", "S".

We decided that because typically you are looking for a specific PTF number in the VMPTFS output, it's better to leave the information sorted the way it is ... rather than date applied or deployed.
