Problem:
After clicking the Info column to arrange the data in alphabetical order, and
then executing a search for specific data, each next search result highlights a
packet numerically next rather than visually next.

Reproduction steps:
1. Create a new, unfiltered packet capture while browsing several different
websites.  Sites which have a lot of embedded URLs are good as you will get
many different domain names.  Ideally browse several sites at once so there is
a mix of different host names at the same time.
2. Arrange by Info (this assumes a default column layout, or at least having
the frame number column and info column present with default values).
3. Scroll to the top of the capture, highlighting the first packet.  It will
hopefully not be labeled as frame 1, though reproduction can still happen if it
is.
4. Search (ctrl+f) for the following:
http.request

The result may not be the first request visually present in the info-arranged
packet list.  It will be the next numerically.  For example, if your capture
had three HTTP requests on frames 2, 15, and 37, and your info arranged list
started with the first frame being frame 13, if you did the search in step 4
and hit Find, the first frame it would highlight would be frame 15 no matter
where that frame falls in your visual list.  Continuing to search (ctrl+n
default) will continue to find the next frame numerically rather than the next
in visual order.
